antiYo

antiYo is a brand of yo-yos and related accessories. The company emerged in the mid-2000s within the international yo-yo community and distributed through specialty shops and online retailers. It is known for focusing on high-performance, metal yo-yos designed for unresponsive play and modern competition formats, often featuring aluminum bodies, precision machining, and refined bearing and response systems. Models typically emphasize stability, long spin times, and a comfortable feel for advanced players.

Through the late 2000s and 2010s antiYo released several signature and production models that gained traction in pro and amateur scenes. The company often collaborated with top players for testing, tuning, and promotional events.

Product range: Beyond core metal yoyos, antiYo has offered related accessories such as bearing kits, replacement axles, and maintenance tools. The line has included varied shapes and weight distributions to suit different play styles, from fast string tricks to long, precise throws.

Reception and status: antiYo has been featured in competition results, videos, and sponsorship programs, contributing to the evolution of modern yo-yo aesthetics and performance. As of the mid-2020s, the brand maintains a presence in the market through direct sales and distribution networks.
