    One of our goals for yoyofriends in 2022 is to continue to explore and master all kinds of materials that can be utilized in making a yoyo. Like the Magnesium Cloudstrike, Brass and Copper Hummingbird to Titanium rim Graviton this year. This time we will tackle our most expensive and hardest material yet, the Damascus Steel.     The first time we came in contact with Damascus Steel was in 2016, when yoyofriends just started, when the first iteration of hummingbird was still just in the prototype phase. A friend of ours came and brought a knife made out...

  The story was written by Tony Sung:    Graviton is my first signature yoyo, I’m feeling really grateful that I could come up with a product that represents myself and yoyofriends.

The Tachyon was created with one thing in mind, speed. This is a huge obstacle as the hummingbird...

This is why we love and chose the name koi.   One of our main goals for yoyofriends in 2022 is to continue to explore, master the design and usage of different types of materials. Establishing a foundation for us for our future releases with more options on materials. After working with titanium, and magnesium, we decided to experiment with a full stainless steel design. The density of stainless steel is...
