The Contrast is the signature model of U.S. National Champion Connor Seals, built to match his fast and dynamic play style. Featuring a unique tri-material construction with stainless steel rims, POM outer rings, and a 7075 aluminum body, it delivers the perfect mix of power, balance, and control. 

Designed for both speed and stability, the Contrast feels quick, confident, and full of character. The same yo-yo that helped Connor capture his national title, built for players who want performance that stands out.

The Contrast Brass PC edition brings a fresh feel to W1LD’s signature design. It pairs solid brass rims with a lightweight polycarbonate body, creating a striking look and a more grounded play experience. 

The brass rims add stability and spin power, while the PC body keeps it fast and responsive. Weighing just 0.5g more than the original, it delivers a stronger, more confident feel on the string. Available in bold colorways including Teal Blue with Gold rims, chosen by Team member Ryo Igarashi, this is the Contrast reimagined with precision and power.

mowl’s very first beginner yo-yo has arrived. Designed from the ground up to make learning smooth, fun, and frustration-free, Round One is made from plant-based, biodegradable plastic and crafted using 3D printing for the perfect beginner-friendly balance.

Stable, responsive, and easy to control - it’s built to make your first throw feel like the start of something great.

Round One: Your first step into the world of yo-yoing.

The signature yo-yo of 3x World Champion Hank Freeman has arrived. The Driftline by mowl is the ultimate evolution of his design vision - crafted for pure 3A performance. With boosted rim weight for incredible spin power and stability, Driftline delivers precision, control, and confidence in every throw.

The Caribou Lodge Leaf returns in three iconic colorways: Clareview Station, Hulk Smash, and 28 Stories.

A modern evolution of the legendary Chief, the Leaf refines its double-rim design with a wider profile and updated H-shape for longer spin, better control, and a powerful connection to the hand.

Not just a remake, a rebirth. The Leaf marks a bold new chapter in Caribou Lodge’s legacy.

The Super Scintillator Universe from C3yoyodesign pushes width and performance to a whole new level. With an incredible 84mm width and multi-material design, this model redefines what’s possible on stage and beyond. Bold, powerful, and built to inspire new tricks! This is the yo-yo that breaks boundaries.

Nate Dailey’s signature throw returns in a whole new form. The domination UL takes everything that made the Nation great and refines it into a fast, ultra-light monometal built for pure flow. Quick, nimble, and endlessly fun - this is the everyday yo-yo made to keep up with “Nate the Great.”

Find your balance with INERTIA by “alternatives”.
A hybrid monometal that blends aluminum precision with polycarbonate comfort, delivering effortless control, powerful spin, and buttery-smooth flow. Designed for players who move with physics, not against it.

Introducing the KEY - the first signature yo-yo for Karthik Devaraj from “alternatives”. Built from 6061 aluminum with stainless steel rims and a pressed steel center, it delivers a one-of-a-kind balance of power, control, and precision. Designed through months of experimentation and innovation, the KEY redefines what’s possible in yo-yo design. A true masterpiece made for the stage.

The Milky by Crucial is here! A modern revival of a true classic. Featuring a smooth machined Delrin body and inner aluminum weight rings, it blends nostalgic design with high-performance precision. The soul of the original Milk returns, refined for today’s players.
