2SickYoYos News Thread: The Knights are coming! (10/13/15 Update) Page 3

Why even show what we cannot have! WHY??? >:(

How…What…Huh? That first colorway is against the laws of physics! Too beautiful to be made by a human.

I dont get those red bishops withe the chess piece on it? It doesn’t look engraved, but is it?

That’s all ano

Come stop by and ask a question!

Whoah… dude that is seriously awesome. I am sold on that design!

It looks like this has the most organic profile of your releases - it seems like a more rounded off Gambit. Would you agree? If not, what would you relate the shape to?

Also, thanks for doing the Reddit AMA, that was fun :slight_smile:

Yea it has an organic V shape that’s very comfy to hold and also plays well. I’d like to call this a jack f all traded YoYo. Doesn’t exceed at anything but does everything really well. It’s something I think many people will like.

Anyone else super pumped for these to drop today?

Did the drop get pushed, or is it still happening today?

Here’s a Bishop with dimmer light; even without the clear parts looking “white” and the coloured parts looking saturated, it’s still a beauty!

I Hope it doesn’t get pushed. Greg, I’m pretty jealous of that colorway.

Update! We had a countdown glitch! The Bishop will release at 10pm EST now!

Sorry for the confusion and delay!

Most don’t know that we have been working hard on our next design and prototyping the last few months. After many trial and errors I feel it’s about time to give light to everyone left in the darkness.

I would like to introduce to you our 4th model, the Rook. Yes it’s a Bimetal! Designing a bimetal has been a goal of mine since the start of 2sickYoYos and its finally here. The Rook is made from 7075 aluminum and stainless steel. This is a full sized yoyo made to slay competitions. Light weight to allow for fast and nimble play yet the weight placement with the stainless steel rings allow it to spin like a yoyo with more weight. 7075 is more resistant to damage and being a denser alloy allows us to thin out the design and move weight to the rim to maximize spin time.

We are still in prototype stage and while this is near the final production version minor changes to specs and design may still happen. No release date yet but we are hoping for late Spring/ early Summer.

This has been quite the adventure with this design and we hope you tag along on pick up your own rook!

Specs:
Diameter: 55mm
Width: 44mm
Weight: 62.7g
Material: 7075 aluminum and Stainless steel

omg that weight! Looks amazing!

Yes, yes, yes

whenever i see a new release being bimetal i feel relieved not needing to throw more money

But, wait, if you guys are going in order of chess pieces, you forgot the Knight.

Every piece will be made, no order really. Appreciate everyone’s positive comments!
