The YoyoFactory Pocket Change yo-yo is a great choice for new players looking to explore new styles of yo-yo play. It’s also a perfect choice for the experienced player looking for an affordable alternative. The Pocket Change is designed to be “unresponsive” requiring binding loop to have it return to you. (Check out our Basic Binding tutorial)

One of the coolest things about the Pocket Change is that you can interchange its parts with that of the YoYoFactory Offstring yo-yo. Both inner and outer hubs can be switched out to mix and match colors or to try out a different response system.

Pocket Change

F.A.S.T. takes on a new meaning with ‘FULLY ADJUSTABLE SHAPE TECHNOLOGY’ which allows you to transform the OFFSTRING from a low response Wing Shaped yo-yo to a specialist ‘offstring’ yo-yo! Pop the yo-yo off the string and take flight or strap on the small rims and bust the tightest string tricks! The offstring weapon of choice for the YoYoFactory Contest Team. It is the ultimate accessory to the Pocket Change.

We also just got in two new and very awesome yo-yos from YoyoFactory.

DV888

The DV888 is everything you would expect from a YoYoFactory yo-yo. Precision engineered aluminium, perfect annodization and beautiful lazer etching. It was built and designed to be completely unresponsive and super smooth. The DV888 is perfect for the intermediate players looking to dive into more advanced tricks.

Protostar

Modeled after the the YYF SuperStar shape, the Protostar offers maximum rim weight and stability. This will give it super long spin times with very little tilting. The Protostar plays like a high end metal yo-yo without the high end price tag.
