DNA King – Gentry Stein’s YoYo for fingerspins, DNA and modern performance

Dave’s take

“The name makes the goal pretty obvious: DNA King is designed to make fingerspins as reliable as possible. Gentry gave it a clearly defined metal hub where your finger can settle into a controlled spinning position.
What I like is that the YoYo was not built around one viral trick alone. Its modern width, thumb-grind lip and balanced overall performance make it a genuinely capable all-rounder for horizontal, speed and regular tech combos as well.”

• Metal fingerspin hub → highly controlled fingerspins and DNA
• Thumb-grind lip → additional possibilities for thumb grinds
• Modern wide profile → extra confidence during hops and technical combos
• More than a DNA specialist → also capable in horizontal, speed and tech
• Gentry Stein design → modern performance concept from his YoYoChampion line

The fingerspin hub is the heart of the design

DNA King uses a cup geometry specifically developed around modern fingerspin tricks. The metal hub provides a clearly defined contact area that helps keep horizontal spins controlled.

This makes it excellent for DNA as well as longer fingerspin combinations where a stable contact point matters.

Still a complete performance YoYo

A good fingerspin YoYo should not be limited to a single trick. DNA King therefore uses a modern wide shape and performance-oriented weight distribution that also works through long conventional string combos.

The additional thumb-grind lip expands the trick possibilities further, turning the DNA specialist into a versatile modern freestyle YoYo.
