Yoyofriends launched the Graviton, Tony Sung's first signature yoyo, characterized by a sleek profile and titanium rings. Tony demonstrated tricks on Instagram, receiving positive feedback, but some fans desired a more budget-friendly version. After Tony's travels, where high prices deterred potential buyers, the Mono Graviton, an affordable alternative, was developed.

Tony, a yoyo designer using Fusion 360, envisioned a mono-metal Graviton early on. Testing revealed a preference for the power of the first prototype, prompting a slight weight increase in the final design. Despite praise, concerns arose that the initial prototype strayed too far from the original Graviton, leading to adjustments in the second prototype.

Named Graviton: Y, this version maintained the original's unique profile while enhancing smoothness and flow. Tony considered names like "Counter Graviton" but chose "Graviton: Y," signifying the second model. The more affordable Graviton: Y preserves the original's smoothness and acceleration. Tony encourages users to create lasting memories, emphasizing the personal connection with the yoyo in their hands.

    Exciting concept

    The novel concept of a budget monometal of the Graviton is very appealing. I call it the "Gravy!" Anyway, it's very good at grinds and even fingerspin hops. Width is okay but can get in the way occasionally. The profile reminds me of the DD Emotion and Exia. Feels rim weighted and heavier than 65 grams. Very solid feeling but can tilt now and then. Spin time is better than its stability but it's definitely worth owning. Although thought of selling it, but nah. It's really good.
