One Drop Rebirth

October 1, 2015 By Steve Brown

Ryosuke Kawamura’s new signature model from One Drop YoYos, the Rebirth, is hitting retailers soon. Check out the full press release and specs below!

The Rebirth is the signature yoyo of One Drop team player Ryosuke Kawamura.

Ryosuke was the first player to join our team from Japan and he has been an amazing ambassador for yo-yoing. He is consistently promoting yo-yo players in Japan to the rest of the world and at the same time representing One Drop in the highest caliber. We are so proud and fortunate to have him on our team and it is time for a signature yo-yo.

Ryosuke is a huge of fan of the One Drop classic yo-yos (Project and Project 2). When we asked him what he wanted for a signature yo-yo he came up with the design and concept of the Rebirth which is an updated modern version of the Projects.

Back in the days of the Project, a 50mm diameter was considered
“normal” size. Nowadays that is considered “undersized”. To bring the Rebirth back to a “normal” range, the diameter is 53mm. Although the nut capture axle system of the Project was our innovation and is now seen as iconic, the Rebirth comes with the much improved Side Effect axle system (ships with Ultra Lights). To widen the catch zone a “friction reducing bump” was added at the transition to the guts (a common feature seen on newer yo-yos like the Markmont Classic).

Combine all this together and you get a stylish, highly performing
modern yo-yo that has the look and feel of the classic Projects with the flat rims and the Projection Profile in the catch zone. Let the Rebirth begin.

One Drop Rebirth specs:

Weight: 66.15 grams (with Ultra Light Side Effects)
Width: 43 mm
Diameter: 53 mm
Response: One Drop Flow Groove
Gap Width: 4.32 mm
Bearing Size: Large / Size C stainless steel 10 Ball Bearing

Ryosuke Kawamura – Rebirth

September 8, 2015 By Steve Brown

One Drop Project / Project 2 / Rebirth yoyo

One Drop YoYos, L to R: Project / Project 2 / Rebirth

Japan’s Ryosuke Kawamura is no stranger to any yoyo player who has ever checked out our site…one of the most prolific video makers out there, Ryosuke is constantly putting together clips to showcase all of the unsung talent in Japan.

Well, now we actually get to celebrate Ryosuke himself! His new signature model yoyo, the Rebirth, will be releasing sometime soon from One Drop and Ryosuke has released four teaser videos to get us excited. The yoyo itself is based on the Project line, and appears to be a larger diameter evolution of the Project/Project 2. You can see from the photo that the Rebirth features a wider rim, like the original project, and the response area bump of the Markmont Classic. That combo alone makes me want one…the original Project is still my favorite One Drop release of all time, and the Markmont Classic is, IMO, the best yoyo they’ve ever released. Combining those two is pretty much the greatest thing ever!

Check out Ryosuke’s teasers below…we’ll announce release info for the Rebirth as soon as we have it!

One Drop YoYos Shop Recap #2 – Bi-Metal!

March 20, 2015 By Steve Brown

Paul Dang popped up with the latest update from the One Drop machine shop, and it looks like in spite of the fact that they’re packing up everything to move to a new location they’ve been pretty busy!

A few things we can look forward to: TWO new bi-metal yoyos, a new design inspired by the Project 2, and a stack of titanium bar stock that is destined to become….something soon.

Here are screen caps of the bi-metal prototypes and the new Project 2 inspired prototype:

Paul Dang – OneDrop Project

December 7, 2012 By Steve Brown

Paul Dang shows off some great tricks, performed on the original Project yoyo from OneDrop. The Project is still, to my mind, the finest throw they’ve ever released. Only made briefly and replaced rather quickly by the Project 2, which wasn’t nearly as well received, the Project is one of those throws that people get all wibbly and nostalgic about. As they should, it’s a great throw!

To their credit, once OneDrop discontinued the Project they publicly posted the CAD code for anyone with access to a CNC lathe to make their own. Here’s that code…if you’re feeling industrious and want to make a batch of these for yourself, go right ahead!
