Recurve

Chico Yo-Yo Company - Recurve

A deliciously unique shape makes the Recurve stand out in a crowd.

It may look like a simple angular design at first, but the Recurve's underside shows a whole different kind of shape. The inner shape has been gouged out in a unique way. Upon closer inspection, you'll begin to understand why they named it Recurve.

Drawing comparisons between the Recurve and other yo-yos available, you can really feel the Recurve's high specs, both in how it handles and how it feels in the hand. There are several yo-yos that have a similar excavations in their design, but the Recurve takes it to an extreme, pulling the full potential out of this shape that has, up until now, been considered just a curiosity. The shape gives it great stability with impressive sleep times (performing similar to a flat-rim yo-yo), but it still handles like a dream. Slightly smaller than the standard 55mm, the Recurve is on the low-middle end, but exhibits power beyond its size and weight. The blast coating gives it a smooth, fine surface ideal for grinds. Despite its unusual shape, the Recurve is a superb throw, ready for anything.
