Kyo posted this a few places, Very cool! The specs and finish description make it sound uber yummy.
That’s right, a new yo-yo.. from me.. and it -does not- cost a small fortune
This, is project DNS.
I designed this 100% with the players in mind.. I’ve adjusted this thing to match exactly the comments and requests I’ve gotten over the last few years. Every aspect of this yo-yo has been tweaked to perfection.
The coating on this thing has not yet been finalized.. I will say that it is actually more durable than hardcoat anodizing, and it is as low-friction as teflon. I’m way excited about it, it feels extremely nice. It won’t look like raw metal, I’ll update with the final images soon.
Now to what you all want to see, the specs.
Diameter: 53.7mm
Width: 42.4mm
Gap: 4.3mm
Weight: 65g
Bearing: Large “C” Bearing
Response: Clear Silicone O-RingAnd of course, the pics
Keep in mind this is a prototype sample, the final will have a coating (but is otherwise identical).
The Sexy Shot:
The Gap Shot:
The Guts Shot:
The ‘Compared to an Mg’ Shot:
The High Tech Comparison Shot:
Should be available in the coming weeks. I will update with images of the finish soon.

Looks awesome I wish it was a couple grams heavier but Kyles yos are usually rim heavy so I should be happy definitely getting one to test out this new coating idea
