The Zzzip-Fly-F is a scaled down version of the Dif-Fly. It uses a Dif-E-Yo KonKave bearing and flush Dif-pads. Weighs 58 grams or 66 grams with both blue O-ring rim weights installed. Finished in polished aluminum. Note the very stout axle. A superior design feature missing in yo-yos of today (2020).
Dif-E-Yo makes individually, custom handcrafted yo-yos from billet machined aluminum. His yo-yos are not produced exclusively with machines. Instead, the yo-yos are designed and manufactured using a combination of machining and handwork. A large percentage of handwork is involved after the machining process which involves hand polishing and cleaning before assembly. After assembly each yo-yo is tested before it is packaged for shipping. While Dif-E-Yo strives to offer unique looking yo-yos, they are designed with performance and durability at the forefront. Dif-E-Yo has not released any new yo-yos since 2015. As of March, 2018, the www.dif-e-yo.com website did not appear to have any more product available to buy.
Dif-Pads are known to wear quite quickly. In fact, as the pad wears the yo-yo performance deteriorates. As such, an extra set of Dif-Pads came with the Zzzip-Fly-F. If desired, you could replace the pads with flowable silicone.
