YoYoFactory ONE – Beginner YoYo for Your First Tricks

YoYoFactory ONE – the affordable classic from your first throw to the Bind

Dave’s take

“ONE has been a beginner classic for years because the concept is so simple and useful: start cheap without immediately needing another YoYo.
Use the narrow bearing to learn your throw, Sleeper and the fundamentals. Later, install the wide C-size bearing and move on to the Bind and modern string tricks. For around 12 euros, that is an almost ridiculous amount of YoYo for the money – especially for kids or anyone simply trying the hobby for the first time.”

• Two bearings included → start responsive and switch to unresponsive play later
• Compact plastic YoYo → especially comfortable in smaller hands
• Durable and straightforward → ideal for first throws, drops and daily practice
• C-size bearing + silicone pads → technology borrowed from modern performance YoYos at a beginner price
• Extremely affordable entry point → lots of progression potential on a small budget

Two stages of play in one affordable YoYo

Start with the narrow Half-Spec bearing. In this configuration, ONE returns with a simple tug and is ideal for learning Sleeper, Forward Pass, Walk the Dog and other fundamentals.

When you are ready for the next step, install the included wide C-size bearing. ONE then becomes unresponsive and opens the door to modern string tricks and Bind returns.

Compact, durable and comfortable for smaller hands

The compact butterfly shape fits smaller hands well, while the plastic body comfortably handles the inevitable drops that happen during the learning process.

That is exactly what makes ONE such a straightforward first YoYo: instead of worrying about damaging an expensive metal model, you can simply practice.

Tip for keeping strong responsive play

If you use ONE in its responsive configuration for a long time, the narrow bearing may gradually become freer as it breaks in.

A small amount of thicker YoYo bearing lubricant can increase the response again and keep the YoYo returning reliably with a tug.
