yoyofriends - Koi
A blast from the past! Koi bucks all modern trends as a classic round metal yo-yo.
This classic round metal yo-yo is brought to you by yoyofriends, and defies the current trends in modern yo-yo design. The artwork reflects the name, with a "Koi" fish motif. The design also defies the use of straight lines, as it's a totally rounded profile. The naming is part of this design as well. To date, yoyofriends has released the Peregrine, Magpie, Hummingbird and Sunbird, all inspired by birds, and all containing straight lines in their profiles. The Koi represents a conceptual departure, moving from the air to the water, and the different taste represented by this new design.
It's slightly on the heavy side at 66 grams, but thanks to the profile it has a very nice soft feeling that really fits well. Thanks to the 7068 aluminum body, the axle area is made extra thin, so that there's a lot more weight distributed to the outer edge than you can see at first glance. Compared to the old classics, the Koi is a huge power-up in performance, without changing any of the outward appearance.
