Collected February 22, 2021. China's Huatian ROTOR model in polished black is similar in appearance to Luftverk's titanium Alpina XP47 (XP for Experiment) and C3YoYoDesign's super heavyweight BTH, but this model uses plastic POM side caps and the body is made from aluminum. Philip Tian is the co-owner of the Huatian yo-yo brand.
The yo-yo uses a standard 19mm silicone slim pad for response and comes with two ball bearing axles: one size C center trac, pre-installed and one half-spec size C and shorter axle for original, responsive play. The latter bearing and axle came in a tiny "speciman" jar. When this yo-yo was first released, it also came with a Huatian-branded postcard and book.
The yo-yo was made complete with a white imprint of the Oreo cookie motif on both outer faces of the yo-yos which were Delrin side caps. You could also optionally buy the 3D printed white "cream filling" and easily install it in the string gap to complete the look. Very clever!
From the Spingear website:
"A yo-yo for string tricks with a distinctive look.
This is a unique model that looks like the oversized volume knob of an audio amplifier.
Although it has the shape of a traditional yo-yo, it has a sharp specification of a bind-only model with C size bearings, and it is also interesting that you can perform unexpected techniques.
As well as the fun of appearance, it is an interesting yo-yo that can be used to tickle your desires.
The first sale will have book and postcard benefits."
From the Huatian website:
"HUATIAN / Hanada is a Chinese yo-yo brand that makes the parts we have created and the parts around yo-yo that we have tried and tried and are the easiest to do.
We will develop yoyo with packaging that distinguishes it from the existing yoyo brand. HUATIAN is a brand that re-started in 2018 with Philip Tian as director who studied industrial design in New York.
We have activities with the concept that we would like to propose ways of enjoying yo-yos that are different from traditional competition yo-yo scenes by mixing the essence that we have learned and made in China and the world's cutting-edge New York.
A place with soul – HUATIAN | Hanada
HUATIAN | Hanada; believes that the best YO-YO only exists in the heart of the one who loves it. Instead of doing everything we can to cater to the trend, let us indulge ourselves in this charming little world. 'HUATIAN | Hanada' Has never expected the approval of the masses, but in case you find some happiness from it, then we wish 'HUATIAN | Hanada' can be a small fantastic part of your great adventure.
One soulful region --HUATIAN | Hanada
'HUATIAN | Hanada' Confirmation Best YO-YO Existence U ? Individual Heat This thing is a human heart. It's all about declining, and it's self-existing. One-point color in the middle of the adventure, the adventure of the adventure, the adventure of the adventure, the adventure of the adventure, and the adventure of the adventure.
Here is the soul-HUATIAN | Hanada
I think the most wonderful thing about 'HUATIAN | Hanada' is that each person really enjoys and loves yo-yos. It's better to do what you like in this wonderful world than to work hard to fit around. I don't have a high desire to be accepted by everyone, but I hope that you will feel happy and enjoyable here, and that it will be a little color in your yo-yo life."

About the white [Oreo] Cream Filling holder
From the Spingear website:
"Yo-yo was not included; just the cream holder for the Huatian Rotor yo-yo.
This [yo-yo holder] increases the Oreo cookie look of Huatian's Rotor yo-yos. It is made with a 3D printer at the Hachioji office.
After repeated prototyping, this is the product. It's rounder than the prototype, and the "creaminess" is increased.
You can also attach the holder with the string shorter than 90cm, so you can use it for more than just display purposes but as [a] yo-yo holder.
About products using 3D printers - Rougher surface than injection-molded plastics, and all products are finished uniformly This is not the case. The defective items have been removed, but please understand that this is a 3D printed product. I hope that you will be able to [use it]."
Released November 2020
Original retail price: $75 US / $89 US with the white [Oreo] Cream Filling holder.
