Offstring yo-yo for freestyle

This unique yo-yo is designed to be thrown completely off the string, enabling spectacular aerial tricks and creative play.

An offstring yo-yo is built to leave the string entirely, so the player can launch it into the air and catch it again. It suits a teen or adult who already enjoys yo-yo play and wants to try a very different freestyle.

What to look for
