"SPYY - Stryker

Something's a little cold and unfeeling about the splash coloring, but there's no denying SPYY has the market cornered on unique but impressive designs.

SPYY started selling these at the 2010 Canadian Nationals, with its characteristic two-tone black and silver splash coloring exuding an undeniable cold feeling. Black with silver splash, silver with black splash, it's like one side is the negative of the other. It has a sharp H-profile with an undersized body and a wide gap, but throws a lot of weight for a peculiar flavor. It might feel a little strange at first, but the next thing you know, you love the taste and you find yourself using the Stryker exclusively! ...Or is it just us?

The weight doesn't reduce its maneuverability, it throws with great purpose but still handles like a dream, and its initial cold impression gives way to the warmth with which it plays. The Low edge, coupled with the standard Center Trac bearing give it real potential right out the box. Even if you aren't a fan of small yo-yos, you'll be surprised by how much you'll like the Stryker. This is a unique flavor that is sure to tickle your fancy, especially if you aren't satisfied with just any normal yo-yo.

Of course, the splash coloring produces very different results, so each yo-yo is unique from each other."

From www.spyy.ca:
"The Styrker was showcased for the first time at the Canadian Nationals and it’s for sale at your favorite online store now. Players and collectors alike are impressed with it’s unique semi-H shaped profile, bold splash anodizing and playability. The Stryker is a smaller yo-yo with an extremely wide profile and a very low-walled gap, making it the perfect throw for modern players in search of something in the undersized category.

It’s small, wide & solid… It’s a machine on the string!"

The yo-yo came inside a bubble-wrap envelope, inside a sticker-sealed, white cardboard box. An obscure and short-lived SPYY model.

Released August 5, 2010.
