Heavy feeling in a small size! Dune is the new signature model of Anthony Rojas.
Taking 3rd in the 2014 US Nationals 1A division, and winning the BAC are just a few of the accolades of Anthony Rojas, America's famous trick creator.
The Dune has a shape similar to the Banana Hammock, from Chris Mikulin's other brand, Pool Party, though it's rounder than the Banana Hammock. But despite the smaller dimensions, Dune retains almost the same weight, making it a much denser design and giving it a heavier playfeel. This gives players like Anthony that specialize in acrobatic tricks the ability to "feel" the yo-yo's movement as they perform.
*The Dune for 9/29 release is a special edition (Artist Edition) based on the work of signature master Anthony Rojas. The yo-yo, pin badge, and string colors are coordinated and inspired by Anthony's artwork. A postcard of Anthony's artwork, on which the yo-yo is based, is included.
Official Description The Dune is the new signature return top for Anthony Rojas!
Designed by Chris Mikulin to incorporate all of Anthony's favorite features in a return top, the Dune features a unique weight distribution makes it play faster than anything else in the CLYW line, making it one of the most contest-ready monometals we've made to date. The curves, both on the profile and inner cup of this return top, speak directly to Anthony's own design sensibilities. Drawing on past return tops that Anthony has competed with but refined to truly fit his tricks, the Dune carries forth a new level of playability for Anthony with plenty of that CLYW style you've come to love.
Anthony and Chris worked closely to get this one *just right* and we hope you love it as much as we do!
The dune.. one of clyws most unique offerings and a favorite of mine. Just take a look at those fat rims and the bubbly stepped cup. It's amazing how the weight distribution makes it play so enjoyably. Also the gap width is just right so it binds and unwinds oh so tightly.
To anyone who likes the dune, go try a Pool Party banana hammock and thank me later :)
