Size L - A large-sized bearing similar in dimensions to a C-bearing at 6 x 13 x 5mm, so it would be too easy for the uninformed to confuse the two sizes. Seen mostly in ILYY and Oxygene yo-yos. Another novel variety of bearing is the Mercury bearing. These were first introduced into the mainstream yo-yo hobby market by Infinite Illusions. The Mercury bearings, named after the Roman God of the Sea, do not contain any elemental mercury. What makes this bearing special is the factory cleaning process that increases spin time and decreases responsiveness. Looping is a yo-yo technique which emphasizes keeping the body of two yo-yos, one on each hand, in constant motion, with or without sleeping. [23] Patents have been issued to create more complicated mechanisms to allow tension control and an adjustable mechanism. [25] [26] Purported use as weapons [ edit ] Cabal old effect removed, now on impact it causes 1-3 ichor rain projectiles to fall from the sky, inaccurately aiming for the yoyo.

The 10-ball Trifecta bearing, developed by Twisted Stringz, combines a KonKave-style shape with a grooved area on the outer race that centers the string for completely unresponsive play. Available in Size C only.Tom Kuhn releases the Roller Woody and Sleep Machine yo-yos, marking the first modern wooden yo-yos to use a ball bearing axle. At the time, most other manufacturers produced yo-yos that had fixed axles. Red’s Throw can now also inflict hellfire, frostbite and oiled. In addition the holy throw in its recipe has been changed for a wooden yoyo. Born Crucial, the company behind the introduction of the delrin yo-yo into the mainstream, has also produced grooved bearings designed for unresponsive play. The first version of the bearings had a flat outer race, similar to the bearings used in the early Dif-e-Yo collector models, and eventually, the groove is combined with a curved, KonKave-style shape, as the Crucial Grooved Bearing 2. YO–YO BANNED IN SYRIA". Barrier Miner. Sydney, Australia. January 23, 1933 . Retrieved July 8, 2018. The bearing in the Kyo Phi 1.618 features a special coating (Kyle Weems, the designer, won't go into details) that allows it to be played dry. As it is the same size as YoYoJam ball bearings (Size C), it can be used in YoYoJam yo-yos and Dif-e-Yo yo-yos, as well as generally any other C-bearing yo-yo. Kyle ran a series of tests to try to determine the best bearing by using a rig to spin the bearings up to a certain speed and to see how long they took to stop spinning, which resulted in him selecting this bearing.

Developed in 1999 by Steve Brown, as of 2008 freehand is considered to be the fastest-growing style of yo-yo play. Steve Brown was awarded a patent on his freehand yo-yo system, which was assigned to Flambeau Products ( Duncan's parent company). Duncan patented the counterweight, and no one was able to design a unique weight. [24] However, since March 28, 2020, the patent has expired. In competition, mastery of sleeping is the basis for the 1A division. Inexpensive fixed-axle yo-yos usually spin between 10 and 20 seconds, while the expensive ball bearing yo-yos can spin about 1–4 minutes depending on the throw. [21] As of 2010 [update], the world record sleep times were 3:51.54 minutes for fixed-axle and 21:15.17 minutes for transaxle yo-yos. [22] In 2012, the transaxle yo-yo sleep time record was broken by the C3YoyoDesign BTH, with a time of 30:28.30 minutes [ citation needed]. Another two-handed style of play, this time performed with two long spinning, butterfly shape, unresponsive yo-yos, another very complicated, high risk style of play. Drops from: Golem in normal mode (25% drop chance) or Golem Treasure bag in expert (33% drop chance).Over the years there have been a few innovations in ball bearings specially designed for the yo-yo market. This bearing works with electrodynamic forces induced by a rotor spinning in a permanent magnet field - generating eddy currents. The technique is not requiring any active controller to operate. Electrodynamic bearings are supplied by Magnetal AB (www.magnetal.se) Holy throw rebalanced, it now has a longer duration than all other finite yoyos and has greatly increased reach along with having significantly greater movement speed. Making it an exceptionally good basic yoyo, fitting of hallowed bars. It also now produces dust similar to gungnir. In 1933, yo-yos were banned in Syria, because many locals superstitiously blamed the use of them for a severe drought. [9]

As popularity spread through the 1970s and 1980s, there were a number of innovations in yo-yo technology, primarily regarding the connection between the string and the axle. In 1979, dentist and yo-yo celebrity Tom Kuhn patented the "No Jive 3-in-1" yo-yo, creating the world's first "take-apart" yo-yo, which enabled yo-yo players to change the axle. Size D - Commonly fits B.I.S.T., HSpin, SPYY, and XCube yo-yos. Measures 5mm x 11mm x 5mm. (0.196" x 0.433" x 0.196"), part number 685, or alternatively part number MR115 for the 4mm wide bearing. Some yo-yos made by companies in Japan or the United States had produced yo-yos that use this bearing size, due to its faster rotational speed than the C size.

Gradient old effect removed in favour of a new effect where the central yoyo is orbited by 5 damaging chromatic pulses, functioning as a sort of upgrade to the Valor.
