More Info About The TEN YOYO Decapod And Wet Whistle

So i E-mailed Roo of TEN YOYO for more information about there yoyos Here is the whole E-mail:

Greetings and G'day,

Thanks for expressing your interest in our company. I would love to tell you about our yoyos! My friend and I are currently working on two types of yoyos and they are almost ready for the yoyo community.

Our first yoyo we have is the Wet Whistle:

Specs:
57mm Diameter
54.75mm Width
68g Weight
4.6mm Gap
Dif-e-yo KK Large Bearing .250 x .500 x .187

Response: Silicone (Groove fits some existing Pads as well)

This was the first yoyo that we designed and it has demonstrated to us that we can design precision crafted metal yoyos.

There is a patent pending on this yoyo because it has a function for bartenders. The outer halves have 3 ridges as measurements to pour spirits into. The three basic measurements are half ounce, three quarters ounce , and one whole ounce. We designed this to be used as a piece of flair in a bartender's routine. One of us is a bartender who spends too much time yoyoing behind the bar. :) Because it is designed for the purpose to measure alcohol we can't sell it to anyone under the age of 21. Sorry.

Our second yoyo the Decapod:

Specs:

Diameter: 54mm

Width: 41mm

Weight: 67-68g Still dialing this in.

Bearing: Dif-e-yo KK Size C

Response: Silicone (Groove fits some existing Pads as well)

These specs aren't set in stone. It's more important to us that the yoyo has the right feel than the right numbers. As we all know 2 yoyos can have the exact same numbers and feel completely different due to the weight distribution. We want to have a solid feel that is not too floaty, but can still move quickly through

tricks. We are working with our protos to achieve the feel we want so the numbers may change a bit.

We brought the Decapod to a NYC yoyo club so people could try it out. So far we have heard some wonderful results from players. The both of us are really enjoying the extreme design in the gap. It is a real performer. Handles very well with the those complex string tricks and has a nice response too.

I hope I was big help for you. If there is anything else you would like to know please don't hesitate. I will try to get more photos up on the website real soon. Thanks agin for writing us. We are happy to be part of the yoyo community.

-cheers
