Throwing a Hyper Freehand for last day of #5AMay. #Yoyo #5AYoyo #Duncan #Bandai

Shot from underneath, a clear blue Hyper Freehand yo-yo by Duncan/Bandai. The yo-yo is set up for 5A (Freehand) play with a clear blue die counterweight. A blue wall and white ceiling split the background diagonally.

It’s an older pic, but fine for May. #Yoyo #5AYoyo #5AMay

That’s right. It’s May. #Yoyo #5AYoyo #5AMay

Me? I'm throwing a Dressel Designs Oasis with a Throw-Yo 5aven counterweight. It's the first stainless steel I've ever thrown, and it's amazing!

Ah… you noticed the silence. That little gap between releases. The stillness before the scream. It’s not for nothing.

Throw-Yo is crafting something bone-deep. Something that comes gently rapping at your chamber door.

No more plastic cubes. No soulless spheres. This is elegance sharpened by death—a raven skull counterweight for those who speak in tricks and whisper in binds.

Keep your strings taut. The 5aven is almost ready to fly.

Getting ready for #5AMay! 🙌

I’ve got at least one brand new counterweight dropping, plus a fresh colorway to keep things 🔥. And of course, Throw-Yo Strings always come through for 5A—no matter your style.

Let’s make this May a good one. 🪀

The song "Dance Now" is by Jid.

It's #5AMay in the #yoyo community. 5A, also known as Freehand or Counterweight, is a style of yo-yoing that has a weight attached to the end of the string. This allows for a completely different style of play, including completely letting go of the string while playing.

Here's some footage of me playing 5A while surrounded by synthesizers for some reason.
