Two all new XCube Releases!
The ZeuS is a limited run of an experimental, super wide metal yo-yo with the potential to live up to it’s divine name. Each yo-yo is production numbered, and Xcube is only issuing 100 of them, making them a highly desirable collector piece as well as an astonishing work of yo-yo design.
The design is centered around a concept Valin calls the “ZS” shape, which precisely focuses the yo-yo’s weight in three points on each half of the yo-yo, with an additional point in the bearing. The balance between these points was incrementally adjusted throughout ZeuS’s design process, eventually leading to Valin’s ideal throw. The ZeuS is wide without being heavy, has a super long spin, and is exceptionally stable and smooth.
Also releasing is the La Goutte!
La Goutte is designed to be an advanced, high-performance contest yo-yo. This is a competitive throw for the technical player. Though La Goutte has a less extreme shape than many of Valin’s other creations, it still features Valin’s flawless sense of what makes a yo-yo extraordinary.
La Goutte is wider than average, well-balanced, and smooth on the string. It has a more subdued logo which allows the beauty of the yo-yo to speak for itself, and as an extra special touch, it features a tiny frog icon. It is available in four colors and two finishes.
no offense to X3 but the Zeus looks like they saw the avant garde and the chief and ripped off both designs. jmtc.. It probably plays great though, an interesting idea to combine the negative space in the gap with the extra rim in the middle.
