New from Chico Yoyo Company

New shapes in the works:
new-yoyo-01
del Toro
Working name: del Toro
We are working on two new shapes, one a small departure from the Bulldog shape – adding a little bit of extra width and dropping an angular profile into the mix with a deep-V shape. The deep-V shaping reduces string contact during play to help increase spin times and keep the yo-yo on plane instead of being deflected off the string during intricate or layered maneuvers. Instead of a flat or somewhat recessed body, the subtle rounded angle of the deep-V allows a progressive and consistent amount of string contact during rejection style tricks where a reliable amount of friction helps with execution of the trick.
Planned stats for the del Toro:
  • Width: 1.52in
  • Diameter: 1.992in
  • Gap width: 4.5mm
  • Weight: 65g
new-yoyo-02
Whitewall
Working name: Whitewall
The second new profile features a deep-V with extra rim weighting drawing from a stepped profile. For added aesthetic, the stepped profile gets some extra edge treatments to give this one a unique look.
Planned stats for the “Whitewall”
  • Diameter = 2.1 inches or 53.34mm
  • Width = 1.6 inches (40.64mm)
  • Gap width: 4.5mm
  • Weight: 67g
  • Bearing size: Large
