Sponsors and Curators The Museum of Yo-Yo History is a labor of love, and we would not be able to stay up-to-date with exhibits without the support of our sponsors and curators. Big thanks go to One Drop Design and Duncan for supplying us with their latest models, YoYoExpert for their help and support, and to Cody Orr, TotalArtist and YoYoBrothers™ for allowing us to use their collections! If you're a manufacturer, or just a big collector and you want to help support the Museum drop me at line at chimera@yoyomuseum.com Turning Point Kerberos Exhibit #4336 Type Special Release Shape Modified Axle Bearing Finish Anodized Color Black/White Construction Composite Response CBC Slim Pad Diameter 60mm Width 29.7mm Gap Fixed Weight 78gm Condition Mint Date 2019 Owner Rick Brough Compare Another one-trick pony, Turning Point's Kerberos was first released in Japan at the Tohoku Yo-Yo Club Summit BREAKTHROW 2019 event for their annual Run the Dog competition. Say what? While you can use the Kerberos yo-yo to perform any variety of string tricks, its design was optimized for Run the Dog competitions at Breakthrow events in Japan. I have seen two variations of Run the Dog competitions. One variation is throwing a "Walk the Dog" but removing the string from your finger and letting the yo-yo take off across the floor. The yo-yo that travels the straightest line wins. The second variation involves the player barely touching the spinning yo-yo to the floor, and then running (or walking) with the "walking dog" in front of them, trying to guide the yo-yo in as straight a line as possible (it is harder than you think). Watch this Breakthrow 2018 video to see clips of a Run the Dog competition! The Kerberos yo-yo was designed by Turning Point to improve straight-line Walk the Dog performance. It uses an aluminum body along with POM (Polyoxymethylene) plastic rims for quiet performance while it is spinning on a floor. The 78 gram weight ensures a long and strong sleeping yo-yo for running (or walking) the dog. Notice the grooved rims. The grooves improve the "dog" walking in a straight line.
