Product Description

From the Chico Yo-Yo Company website:

Like the Bullog, these are precision machined in Chico, CA with the anodizing, laser engraving, and beadblasting also done here in Chico.

The profile is a deep-V design to reduce string contact during off-plane play. The deep-V has a slightly curved surface (instead of flat or stepped back profile) for a comfortable and progressive amount of string contact to assist with rejection style tricks. Notably absent is a stub for the axle to sink into - we utilized a very short axle to allow for a flat outer face which gives this a distinctive look.

Sporting a 50.6mm diameter, the delToro is a smaller and nimble yo-yo great for intricate string tricks and chopsticks style play. At 38mm wide, the delToro is wide enough to land many risky maneuvers and narrow enough to not get in the way - a nice, comfortable combination. The string gap measures out at 4.5mm allowing plenty of layers of string to be applied but avoiding the uncomfortable kickback and slow feel associated with exceptionally wide gaps.

The bearing is a large, precision cleaned stainless steel ABEC-5 bearing. This bearing is totally dry to allow for long spin times and will require a bind to return to the hand.

Halves of the yo-yo are beadblasted inside and out with the finest grade beads available. Near the bearing, we masked off the halves during blasting to ensure a smooth and trouble free surface for the string. This fine beadblast makes for an extremely smooth surface for grind style tricks and also gives the delToro a soft appearance. The inner ring region is slightly beveled which allows inner ring grinds on fingertips to be accomplished easily.

Response is accomplished with silicone pads. As much as we love flowable silicone, there is something to be said for the ease of application and consistency of an adhesive backed pad. We purchased and installed the yellow silicone K-pads from our local retailer, so those of you familiar with that response will be right at home - and the yellow pads look pretty cool too. But if you prefer flowable silicone or the pads from another source (like the YoYoJam silicone, or Alchemy pads), the groove accommodates those options just fine - this way you have the flexibility to use what you want.
