 In November of 2022, yoyofriends released the first ever damascus steel plus titanium rimmed yoyo. It has received positive feedback and success. We want to thank you guys for all the support so we can keep experimenting with new materials and manufacturing possibilities When we made damascus steel with titanium rims, it cost us a lot to source the material needed to create this project, we especially had trouble finding metal rods over 50mm in diameter to make the yoyo. We made the decision to add a ring to make it a full size bimetal yoyo instead of making an undersized yoyo for our fans. ...

For the most part of 2023, yoyofriends wants to release a titanium model. We want to be different from Ti Sunbird (classic V shape)  and Ti Koi (classic O shape) in design language. We want to release a type of H shaped titanium. The main advantage of H shape is superior stability and control.  To tackle this project we got inspired by the shortcut, a hybrid H/W shaped monometal that is very popular among the yoyo community.   The shortcut is famous for its 6 even cuts along the profile of the yoyo, definitely giving it a striking look.  When we are...
