If you've never tried a yo-yo, or the yo-yo you tried was when you were a kid, then there's a strong chance you haven't experienced the modern advancements in yo-yo design. Yo-yo's have come a "substantial" distance since the 90s, and as a result, you can now enjoy the beginner learning process with far less frustration lol. Also yes, the playability from a performance and feel/touch standpoint, have leveled up dramatically, making for a substantially improved yo-yoing experience all together. In short, modern day yo-yo's are a "lot" easier and a "lot" more fun.
In the 4th installment of collaborative yo-yo releases between former World Yo-Yo champion Markmont. and Thesisyoyos, BRS joins the platoon with a direct aim at blending and breaking the lines between skill toy lanes. In this case, the lines between yo-yo and balisong. In steps the Markmont. x BRS edition Tellos!
The Tellos is a beginner to intermediate yo-yo option that's equally as performative as any high end yo-yo, at a less sticker-shock of an entry starting price. The organic butterfly shape makes advanced string tricks easier to hit while still having in-hand comfort. The design particulars enable long spin time and a unique way to have hours worth of "fun" wherever and whenever you find time to play.
The Tellos boast a center trac ball bearing for excessively long spin times. The shape of the bearing physically centers the string to reduce the amount of gap contact from the string. This makes it easier to achieve longer spin times. The ball bearing sits in a black anodized aluminum spacer system for improved weight distribution and tight tolerances yielding zero yo-yo vibration and smooth spinning sleepers. The spacer system peaking through the yo-yo halves into the catch zone gives great visual contrast to aid in technical string tricks. Delrin plastic for durability, weight/density, and quality of material feel.
The optics of yellow plus the overall scale being larger than former yo-yos makes for much improved playability. Dropping this yo-yo on the ground, or mistakenly hitting a hard surface won't break this yo-yo. If you are a particular perfectionist about mint condition, it might ruffle your emotions to see a scratch here or there, but your yo-yo's play will remain A-grade smooth lol. String The string equipped with this yo-yo is Markmont. Formulas Draken. This string is hand twisted from nylon and is the longest lasting string in the world. Developed, tested and revised since 2003, MF Draken boasts record instances of lasting 5+ years. MF Draken a very stiff but finger resistant material, to make for a more weighted string experience that doesn't cause string burn. When you attempt advanced string tricks, you will notice an added benefit of control and touch.
