YoYo Spotlight – Whimsy Roar

By

Roar

Whimsy Roar Specs:

Diameter: 55.45 mm
Width: 41.65 mm
Gap: 4.80 mm
Weight: 67.2 grams
Response: 19mm Slim Pads
Bearing: Size C (.250 x .500 x .187)

The Roar is the latest budget metal performance yoyo from Hong Kong company Whimsy.

PLAY

The Roar packs a lot of play into a body shape that works great for both 1A and 3A. Profiles like this have become the industry standard for 3A players, and it’s great to see something catering to this style of play in the budget price range. The Roar is a stable yoyo that plays really fast…the wide gap gives you almost no friction on the string and this yoyo really zips around quickly when you get it moving. It’s got a stability that you don’t normally find in budget models, and feels spectacular in the hand.

The Roar might be the most universal, “all around” yoyo that Whimsy has produced yet, and it’s got the chops to be a great competition yoyo or just a top-notch everyday carry.

Roar_Profile

LOOKS

Whimsy has made a huge effort from the start to really focus on top notch graphics, and the Roar doesn’t disappoint. Our review model is a special edition created for 44Clash in Japan, with a great collaborative logo. The production model features a lion illustration that ties in better to the name of the yoyo, and looks equally awesome. The finish is top-notch and the graphic design from Whimsy has been consistently fantastic since their first release, the Pokerface.

VALUE

The Roar retails for only $50, making it a great deal for any level of player looking for an aluminum yoyo with great performance on a budget. It’s hard to believe that such a young company can put out a yoyo with this level of performance at this price, but here it is! The Whimsy Roar is definitely worth every penny.

YoYo Spotlight – YoYofficer Orbis

By

YoYofficer Orbis

YoYofficer Orbis Specs:

Diameter: 55.5 mm
Width: 45 mm
Weight: 64 grams
Gap Width: 4.3 mm
Bearing: Large Size C (Grooved)
Retail Price: $50 USD

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.

YoYofficer Orbis

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.

WIN THIS YOYO!

Want to win the Yoyofficer Orbis shown above? Just comment on this post and tell us why you deserve it! We’ll pick one lucky winner on Friday, October 24th at Noon EST. Good luck!

Congratulations to our winner, Jason!

Featured Product – Gorillius Lubricus

By

Monkeyfinger Gorillius Lubricus

Gorillius Lubricus is a bearing lube and conditioner from Canadian yoyo manufacturer Monkeyfinger. Yoyo players are constantly cleaning, stripping, and de-shielding their bearings in search of a little extra spin time…but everything they do to squeak those extra few seconds of spin time out of their bearings causes a ton of wear and tear and drastically shortens the life of those bearings. Gorillius Lubricus to the rescue!

Gorillius Lubricus is applied after you’ve cleaned your bearings. Just use the unique brush applicator to lightly brush a tiny amount (no more than 1/3 of a drop!) on the side of the bearing and spin it a little to let it work through. Gorillius Lubricus will flatten to a thin coating on the balls and inner race of your bearing, providing vital protection from the intense amount of wear that players put on their bearings.

This lube is not just an oil, but a conditioner that refurbishes the steel in your bearing for a quieter, longer lasting bearing with all the spin time you need.

Save your bearings, with Monkeyfinger’s Gorillus Lubricus!

Catchy LED Kendama

A traditional Japanese toy, the kendama has remained a classic wooden toy for centuries, until now! The Catchy LED Kendama features durable plastic and incredibly bright LEDs to bring a whole new dimension to this toy, day or night! The Catchy LED Kendama is precision balanced and weighted to perform exactly as a professional kendama should. Shipping to stores now, the Catchy LED kendama retails for $15.99 and measures 16 cm to the tip of the spike, and 18 cm with the tama spiked.

And in a few weeks, Catchy will release an aluminum mini kendama!

The Catchy Mini Aluminum measures in at 8 cm to the tip of the spike (9 cm with the tama spiked). The smaller size makes it a challenge, but all tricks are still possible and the added weight of the aluminum helps this pocket-sized kendama play like it’s full size! The Mini Aluminum kendama will retail for $40.
