Legendary 888 (Release: 27th Jan, JST)

YoYoFactory - Legendary 888

(This is a machine AI translation from Japanese. We will replace it once the English description done by our staff is ready.)

The original full metal masterpiece from YoYoFactory, which became a bi-metal with titanium rims.

Late 2000s. The 888, one of the key players in making full metal yo-yos commonplace in the competitive yo-yo world, and still regularly remade by YoYoFactory, has finally been converted to bimetal.

The shape, size, and even the hub stack are the same as the original, but the rim is the focus of attention. The outside of the two-tiered round shape is entirely covered by a titanium rim. By using a wide titanium rim instead of stainless steel, which has the largest share of the bimetallic market, the weight balance and total weight are well balanced, and the small but sturdy, yet cushioned, soft feel is achieved.

Although the feel is the same at its core, the final performance is completely different. While it is a collection model, it is a yo-yo with an extravagantly high level of perfection that is sure to be coveted by Yo-Yo Factory fans.

John Ando of Team Yo-Yo Factory says that if you remove the hub stack, it feels more like the original 888 (aka 07-888). Customization is at your own risk, but if you are interested, please give it a try.
