the making of devotion

I watched nick grow up into the solid, flashy, stylish player he is now. luckily for me, he’s a local, and meeting up with him is not only easy, but frequent and a lot of fun.

nick had the idea of fusing two old designs i had together. we took the nostalgia (flash based) as well as the corruption and made it into a yoyo. in particular, he felt that the nostalgia was a competitive yoyo that could also be used for fun, as it glided on the string. the corruption also was a stable yoyo that wasn’t too heavy.

the devotion is a yoyo that is nothing special on paper, but the throw feeling is indescribable. the yoyo is competition based, but not boring, is angular but not sharp, and flashy but not outrageous. i wish i had more to say about the design, but you have to try it to believe it.
