The Sprite was an ultra lightweight yo-yo from YoYoFactory made out of aluminum and undersized. One hundred were allegedly made and sold.
Came wrapped in YoYoFactory branded deli-style paper and with one neon yellow string.
Ben from YoYoFactory: "We were experimenting with lightweight yo-yos and we basically made a mini version of the YoYoFactory Kapital. At 47.5 mm diameter, we hogged out all the weight and it was 23 grams. [The yo-yo] was sold by the ounce [Rick: I think he meant to say "grams" instead], so $23 retail."
From yoyofactory.com:
"SPRITE (AVAILABLE MAY 5 2021)
23gm is light. VERY light.
the FAIRY class (under 25gm) might just become a thing :)
this yoyo is raw, features a Center Trac bearing.
Made in USA.
Limited to 100 pieces."
Released May 5, 2021.
Original retail price: $23 US
