All yo-yos have passed the manufacturer's quality inspection. Quality standards vary by manufacturer. Basically, products that can be used normally are within product specifications.
Examples of possible initial defects
if the following symptoms occur immediately after opening, they may be initial defects:
(Bind models only) The bearing barely rotates even when flicked with a finger.
Even after dampening vibrations with a finger during play, the yo-yo vibrates so much that its shape appears distorted.
Parts that should be installed (bearings, pads) are not installed.
Examples that do not constitute initial defects
Package damage
Color differences from expectations
Bearing noise or bind model return issues that occur after even a few plays
Yo-yos that arrived properly assembled but cannot be reassembled after disassembly
Scratches on the inside of the bearing area, paint chips
Color variations on the yo-yo that are not noticeable from a distance
Paint chips that are not noticeable from a distance
Scratches on the yo-yo that are not noticeable from a distance and barely detectable by touch
Minor rust on bearing surfaces of models that come pre-strung in the package (minor external rust has almost no impact on performance)
A blast from the past! Koi bucks all modern trends as a classic round metal yo-yo.
This classic round metal yo-yo is brought to you by yoyofriends, and defies the current trends in modern yo-yo design. The artwork reflects the name, with a "Koi" fish motif. The design also defies the use of straight lines, as it's a totally rounded profile. The naming is part of this design as well. To date, yoyofriends has released the Peregrine, Magpie, Hummingbird and Sunbird, all inspired by birds, and all containing straight lines in their profiles. The Koi represents a conceptual departure, moving from the air to the water, and the different taste represented by this new design.
It's slightly on the heavy side at 66 grams, but thanks to the profile it has a very nice soft feeling that really fits well. Thanks to the 7068 aluminum body, the axle area is made extra thin, so that there's a lot more weight distributed to the outer edge than you can see at first glance. Compared to the old classics, the Koi is a huge power-up in performance, without changing any of the outward appearance.
