THE Yonami Code Colorway-EXCLUSIVE

The Rain City Skills Yonami Code is a triple signature yoyo. Ashley Thompson, Bailey Main, and Jake Leach are three of their best “Have fun learning yoyo” representatives. They work hard to engage the community, encourage others and generally make yoyo great for everyone. It all started with a very fun idea.

Rain City tasked them with designing the yoyo they wished they’d had when they got hooked on yoyo! The result is the Yonami Code. Named so as a reference to their hugely successful “Gamer”, a slimline yoyo that is really challenging to hit modern yoyo tricks on.

The Yonami Code makes everything easy. We opted for a modified “H” design for maximum stability while trying to figure out that next trick. They targeted weight distribution for top performance, making this the ONLY yoyo you need. (“Want” is another matter). The cup features their Lego compatible hub, perfect for adding a light up brick or finger spin plate. That said, it fingerspins beautifully on its own, perfect for the TikTok generation who are all about the DNA!

Each Box includes – The Yonami Code set up with a Full-C Groove bearing – A half-C bearing to switch the yoyo to responsive for beginners – The Yonami Code sticker with a few others, as well as some of their collectable Pogs – a couple string – A maple candy!

The value of this Month’s box is $60.00

This month’s throw is from CLYW The OTTER is the latest release from CLYW is the second signature yoyo for 3x Canada National Champ Harrison Lee. Taking inspiration from his first signature, the Orca, the Otter is both a step forward and a love letter to past CLYW design features. Designed as a collaboration between Harrison Lee and Jeffrey Pang, the Otter delivers that fat, comfy feel you’ve grown to love from so many CLYW releases while also being plenty beefy and stable enough for average humans to get through around 45% of Harrison’s tricks.

This month’s throw is from THESIS. Aventus is the next model in the Invictus series. It’s designed to be a more powerful version of the Invictus, but still maintain its clean aesthetic and maneuverability. Thesis listened to the feedback from the Invictus and adjusted the gap width for tighter binds. Additionally, they utilized large stainless steel weight rings to increase power and stability, but still maintained the agility the Invictus held by gradually increasing the wall thickness from the hub to the rings. You are getting 1 of 3 colorways so keep an eye for which! Thesis gave us a hat and we added 100 strings to round the box value out.

This month’s box value is  $133.00

Aventus Specifications:
Diameter:56mm / 2.2 inches
Width:46mm / 1.81 inches
Gap Width:4.5mm / 0.18 inches

This month’s throw is from Duncan.


The original Origami was a great hit: our team loved it, our
customers loved it. But we weren’t satisfied; we thought we
could make it even better. So we went back to the original
design, and out came the all-new, revised Origami! To improve
upon the original design, we better optimized the weight
distribution to improve stability and spin time. We also
increased the length of the axle to make the design more
durable. The signature yo-yo of 5A player and superstar Bryan
Jardin, 7-time National Champion and 2-time Asia Champion,
the new Origami is made to perform.
