The Story of Alliance
FPM has been making yo-yos for Damian for over 4 years. FPM and Damian have built a good relationship over the years. Meanwhile, Damian told us he likes Yoyofriends yo-yos, he bought a Tiss hummingbird and Koi. In July 2021, we had the thought on our minds about collaborating with Damian, we contacted him in Sep 2021 to collaborate on a titanium yoyo. We believe it will be a new experience for us! Damian even wrote the story for our collaboration yoyo. Alliance “The Alliance is a collaboration yoyo between Yoyofriends and Damian Puckett. The body is made from titanium...
Tiss hummingbird
Hi there! At the end of 2021, when we were thinking detailed business planning next year, we were thinking deeply which old model yoyos should be back in 2022 and we should bring which new model yoyos. Our team highly recommend tiss hummingbird back. Jacky is afraid of starting tiss hummingbird again because it was a difficult and challenging project. However, after the high customer demand of the yoyo, we are happy to announce the return of the tiss hummingbird.

The Story of Baryon
It is Yoyofriends' 6th anniversary, and we want to create a special yoyo to thank all the support from our fans! We name it “Baryon”.

The design featured a V/H shape with a moderate amount of SS ring weight.It was tested at WYYC 2018 and by our players. However we could not manufacture the yoyo without vibe after numerous tries so we decided to put the design on the backburner. After the success of Peregrine, we want to make an inner ring bimetal with our new found understanding of yoyo and our manufacturing capabilities. We began the Vulture project using the original...

A lot of people wondering whether we will make second run after it was displayed at WYYC 2018.Actually, we keep this request in heart and it takes us about 3 years to revise drawing and test prototypes time after time. We are excited to announce that our Tisunbird will be coming out soon! I have to say that it is a very difficult process for us,less than 0.5mm thick, super super thin wall and much weight concentration on rims... That is similar just like feeling of humingbird. But we are happy for we made a...
