Released in Chico for the U.S. National Yo-Yo Contest, we had a new color of the Bulldog produced. This time we chose a bright blue with violet marbling. It came out looking absolutely gorgeous. The bright blue really stands out and is easy to be seen while performing.
After much searching locally, we were able to find a facility to perform laser engraving so the artwork on the side has a new look. The original lettering was machine engraved but the laser engraving gives more flexibility in the design options – we hope you like the change.
The hand finished pinstripe edge detail is back. This finishing touch adds a unique and distinctive look to the yo-yo.
Returning again on this release are the two different finishes. The shiny finish which truly sets off the appearance of the marbled anodize finish which has been preferred by the collector and connoisseur while the beadblasted finish has proven to be the preference for the competitive focused player as the finish grinds better on the finger. The blasted finish again is only where it matters so the textured area will not contact the string and cause premature wear or breaking.
Back again are the precision cleaned ABEC-5 stainless steel bearings for very long spin time. Hand applied silicone for response, and a very wide string gap.
The blue color way is currently available at Bird in Hand, YoYoGuy.com, and will be shipping next week to Euro-Yo and YoYoZee.
Enjoy!
