Description
Spin Dynamics - Monkey Fist
The Monkey Fist boasts a thick rim for superb spin and stability.
The Monkey Fist was first released at the 2012 April US NER (North East Regional) yo-yo contest, and is the 2nd release from nascent yo-yo maker Spin Dynamics. Its undersized (50.3mm diameter) body sports a low edge and a straight shape that runs into a thick, flat rim for an H-profile that gives spectacular stability and vicious spin. With a slightly heavy body for its size, owner Nick Gumlaw has tested its long sleep and clocked it at about 10 minutes, 30 seconds. It has a really nice weight in the hand, and you can really feel its power when you pick it up. Since it's an undersized throw, of course it handles complicated string tricks very well, and its stability lends itself to long combos.
For its response, Spin Dynamics uses Korean maker Shinwoo's P-pads, but they are also compatible with the YYF CBC Pads (large slim size). Since the pads are different thicknesses, the CBC pad may sink into the body ever so slightly.
Nickel-plated edition comes with a microsuede pouch.
