::::: BACKSTORY / PRODUCT DESCRIPTION :::::
Back in 2019 we worked on a yoyo project (BMC) with Terry Orchard, which later lead to collaborating on some of Terry's personal designs. Flash forward about 4 years, we prototyped 3 designs, released some samples of each yoyo back in April, and we're pleased to bring you our first completed design, the Possum!!! With it's slightly undersized diameter and slightly stretched width, this rounded over V shape could be just what you didn't know you were looking for! It's ridiculously cozy size and comparatively wide catch zone makes this thing refreshingly fun :)
Condensed thoughts from Terry:
The Possum cutaway profile was inspired by the button nose and floppy ears of small mammals. Given that, it has an undersized diameter and fits comfortably in a pocket or EDC bag.
Condensed thoughts from Jeremy:
The Possum is unlike many other undersize throws, as it still feels super light and nimble on the string, especially when compared to undersized yoyos that keep the weight up, which can cause that "brick like effect." It's also very capable - playing pretty quick, while having a catch zone that feels incredibly wide and forgiving. It's just strait-up fun!
