Ryoichi Katsuki drops some smooth and supremely well-done 1A in this new video. It’s rare that you see front style combos at all, let alone such good ones. The one starting at 0:56 is pure thumb mount gold.

PLAY
The YoYofficer Orbis is big, wide, and built for modern play. This full-sized yoyo features heavy rim-weight for long spins and great stability, a concave side area for finger spin tricks, and an angled and minimized response wall for long spin times and horizontal play. The Orbis design is pretty much a “greatest hits” of all of the design elements that modern players demand for competition-grade yoyos, and with a budget price of only $50! Yoyofficer has made a name for themselves with high performance at low prices, and the Orbis is the latest model to uphold that ideal.
LOOKS
YoYofficer creates budget models for modern players, but they don’t cut corners on their anodizing. The color and finish quality on their yoyos is fantastic, and some of the best we’ve seen coming out of China factories. Multi-color fades and splashes are done well, and their color choices look great in the hand and while spinning. The Orbis doesn’t have any engraving, making it a no-frills yoyo built for players, not collectors.
VALUE
The Orbis hits shelves for only $50, making it a great deal for players looking for that perfect competition yoyo for their play style. The Orbis is a great player for the price, and is a great option for 1A and 5A players.

First Look: YoYofficer Orbis
Chinese yoyo manufacturers YoYofficer have announced a new competition model, the Orbis. They owners of YoYofficer were on-hand at the 2014 World YoYo Contest, talking to players and getting feedback from their team and went home with the goal of refining their line to better suit modern players and creating new models with improved performance.

Introducing the Yoyofficer ORBIS.
Design of the Orbis is based on feedback from our team and mainly on many long talks with players from all around the world, that we met at the World Yoyo Contest. When we combined this great feedback with our designs, we created one of the best yo-yos we have ever made.
The specifications meets today‘s standards for competition throws, with almost full-size diameter and more width. We really focused on weight distribution, to achieve lower weight for better feel and faster play, while keeping good stability and spin timeAs always, Orbis comes in range of acid wash finishes with bead-blasted surface. And it will be shipped with our new premium bearing.
