Will (with Akitoshi Tokubuchi Signed Card)

YoYoFactory - Will

Wide rim for power and maneuverability. Will is 2013 1A National Champion, Akitoshi Tokubuchi's signature model.

The 2013 1A Japanese National Champion, Akitoshi Tokubuchi's new signature model. The wide rim and unique weight distribution provide a high level of width, turning power and control.

It is not only reliable for freestyle and performance, but also for creating and practicing new and difficult tricks. The high performance of the 1A model, which even the designer himself praises as "one of the best 1A models" he's produced, can be fully enjoyed.

To maximize performance, we recommend upgrading the response pads (e.g. REWIND Japan pads).

Changes from the previous lot

The shape of the stainless steel rim has been updated and the weight of the rim has been increased to improve turning performance. As a result, the total weight has increased by about 1g, but it is so strong and stable that it is hard to believe it is only 1g.

In addition, the step in the center of the step-straight shape has been fine-tuned to make it easier for the string to pop and fly upon release.

*Fade (blue and silver) has the logo engraved on the rim.

It has been about two years since Will was designed and first went to market. We have had many conversations with Mr. Tokubuchi about his yo-yo design and his preferences moving forward.

We were not dissatisfied at all with the Will's current performance, but we started discussing whether we could improve on it, which led to the conception of a new model. We decided to aim for a higher dimension of Will.

In order to avoid some slight discomfort and trouble that occurred during his two years of experience at the top of the sport, we made minor adjustments to the shape and edges. This has resulted in improved stability while maintaining straightforward operability.

We have developed all the elements to meet the higher performance requirements of Tokubuchi's sensitivities and uncompromising ambition.

It is a mere change in design, but it is a change that you may feel. Looking at the update list you may as "is that all they changed?" but surely, these small changes come into the spotlight under extreme conditions.

We hope you will experience the evolution, and deepening of Will, created by the accumulation of these small changes.
