BACKLIGHT: Compact. Powerful. A precision undersized bi-metal.

The BACKLIGHT is a slightly undersized bi-metal yo-yo that impresses from the very first throw. Its compact diameter is paired with large stainless-steel rims, giving it unexpected power and excellent spin performance. The machining quality is outstanding, resulting in a butter-smooth, low-vibration throw — one of the cleanest undersized yo-yos in its class.

With its smaller format, the Backlight is extremely agile, fast, and easy to control. It excels at chopstick combos, tight tech tricks, and is especially comfortable for players with smaller hands. The sandblasted exterior improves grind performance and creates a premium matte finish, while the polished hub adds a clean, classy contrast.

The BACKLIGHT is an excellent daily-carry option for advanced players seeking a compact yo-yo with serious bi-metal performance.

JulyYoYo

JulyYoYo was founded back in 2020 by the Chinese YoYo player nicknamed “Hornet”. JulyYoYo initially flew under the radar of many players, but thanks to various champions in China and collaborations with other brands as well as a very professional appearance on Instagram, the brand has made a name for itself.
The designs clearly show that there is a real YoYo player with passion behind the brand and not a run-of-the-mill factory that also produces a few YoYos on the side. The quality of workmanship is absolutely world-class, as JulyYoYos are manufactures exclusively in the factory with probably the highest quality standards in the world.
