Silhouette
First released: March 2020Description
To join the very affordable Intro, we wanted to offer a Side Effect yo-yo that is also sensitive to the economics of the times. We present: The Silhouette. The play is airy, stable and fast and has a definitive feel in the hand unlike anything we’ve done before. If you hold it with your eyes closed you’ll know what it is. Here we embrace concave arcs in the catch zone and sport the traditional Side Effect hub in the cup - offering adjustability, durability and the ability to customize at a bargain.
Those of you who were around in the mid 2000’s may notice that we were inspired by a yo-yo made by our friends at I Love Yo-Yo: The Noctu. It was released in 2009 and it was completely unique. It’s shape is cool and extreme and can hurt when catching it if you get sloppy. We have one in our collection, we consider it a true gem and a treasure from a different era.
