Full metal yo-yo with eye-catching giant spikes on the side face
The huge spikes on the side face of this full metal yo-yo are eye-catching.
The name "Thorn" refers to the spikes on plants, but on this yo-yo, it refers to the center of the side face.
In recent years, it is not unusual for string trick yo-yos to have an axle of 10 mm or less. This is unusual, however, and is the result of the yo-yo's emphasis on performance aspects such as rotational force.
The industry-recommended axle length for yo-yos of this size is 12 to 16 mm, and this yo-yo shows that it is not unnatural to have this kind of side face in order to secure that length.
Thorn follows the original "industrially" recommended standard, but incorporates modern yo-yo know-how. The rim is thicker so that the weight is not concentrated only in the center, but also on the periphery. This gives the yo-yo a unique shape and a responsive feel due to its rotational force, and its slim width of approximately 42.5mm gives it a powerful feeling that is a gap between what you expect and what you feel. Of course, since the axle is more than long enough, it is also easy to assemble and maneuver.
*The package has some damage such as large tears or crushing, but if there is no problem with the product, it is a specification.
