“New package, new pad response, wider gap, wader range of response. this thing is the real deal.
Pepsi challenge this with any other plastic yo-yo and the others all fail.
Match the response to your skill or style. Play your way.
Responsive, if you want it, bind return, that’s your choice. perform the hardest tricks know then hand it to a beginner. When somebody getting into yo-yo asks what to buy, there is only 1 answer…. VELOCITY!”
A moment of great excitement for me personally. The Velocity is one of my all time favourite yoyos and was in my opinion, the perfect starter yoyo for someone with a few extra $$$ to spend.
With these refinements however, the Velocity looks to be an even more appealing prospect than before.
Also a major thank you for the new slimmed down packaging (also now a feature of the F.A.S.T 201). Much easier to work with for all involved.

That’s right, a new yo-yo.. from me.. and it -does not- cost a small fortune Smiley
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.
