YoYo Related News From Around The World
Dylan Ostrowski shows us the latest plastic release from Duncan Toys, an oversized yoyo called Big Fun! Big, floaty, and ready for finger spins, the Big Fun looks like…uh…big…um…fun? Crap, they named it so good I don’t have anything else to say.
Yoyo used is the Duncan Toys Big Fun. It’s big fun.
Congrats to Yuya Sato on picking up a sponsorship from SF YoYos, and congrats to SF on adding another amazing up-and-comer to their roster.
Yuya Sato entered the #sfcombocontest this summer and no one on the team even had any idea who he was. As of December, Keiran now refers to him as “our president”, Tony sends me #yuyatotheteam almost every day, and the teamchat is named “Sato Fanclub”. I guess things change pretty fast when you post things like this all the time.
He’s pretty new to yoyoing, his progress is unwavering, he has big goals, and everyone involved with SF has post notifications set to “on” for his Instagram account. You should too.
Join the Sato Fanclub with us.
Yoyo used is the Ti Cadence.

Keiran Cooper gives us the goods in this video…two and a half minutes of pure, perfect tricks and some Sleigh Bells for good measure. Put it on repeat for the rest of the year.
Yoyo used is the SF YoYos Cadence, maybe? There’s a quick flash at the end that says “Cadence Transmission Coming 2019” so he’s probably throwing a proto of that.
CLYW is closing out the year with a bang with a limited release of the Metal Yeti, the latest model in the Yeti line. With just a few pieces released to a couple of retailers, this limited pre-release did pretty well considering no one knew it was coming! The full release is scheduled for mid-January, and it will be available worldwide.
Check out CLYW’s release info and full specs for the Metal Yeti below!
We are beyond thrilled to introduce the Metal Yeti.
The Yeti has been our most challenging project ever. Two plastic iterations came and went with varying degrees of success, rife with challenges, and both ended their lifespans early due to production problems that we just couldn’t quite solve. But the shape and the feel were just too. damn. good and we couldn’t give up on it, so we went back to what we do best…precision metal.
The Metal Yeti is a beautiful halfway point between nostalgia and the new new, with a play style that really makes us feel like it’s an instant classic. (Fun fact, the hub stickers are left over from the very first Yeti production run!) Something about this return top is just “perfect Caribou” and none of us can put our prototypes down. We’re so excited for everyone to try these that we even made a lot more than usual to get the price down so that we could make them even more affordable.
