YoYoTricks.com Breeze Yoyo Review

Design

The Breeze Yoyo is a bi-metal luxury model designed by Good Life Yoyos.

On the profile, there are two almost flat rims that cushion fast catches, and make tricks like snap start a little easier to perform. As the rims move closer to the center of the yoyo, they quickly drop off into two stainless steel weight rings, placed in the third of the yoyo closest to the rims. There is a rounded step right off of the bearing that gives the yoyo a better angle of contact for better horizontal performance, as well as for a more comfortable grip while the yoyo is in your hand. The gap width is a slightly above average 4.7mm

In the cup, there is a convex cut directly underneath the rim, right about where your thumb rests. The inner cup then drop down into a circular finger spin surface with a small engraved raised area in the middle.

The Breeze Yoyo has a wonderful bead blasted finish that feels exceptionally smooth in the hand. When combined with the generally curved and refined design, the Breeze is a comfortable hold for any hand size.

Play

With a lighter weight at 63.8 grams, the Breeze moves just like it’s name suggest – Easy going. To us, the Breeze feels like a highly polished, casual play oriented yoyo. The Breeze feels it’s best when you’re moving at a comfortable pace, not too fast and not too slow, but enough to keep moving at a good speed. The stainless steel weight rings and overall rim weight heavy design give the Breeze superb stability and spin time so it can definitely handle blazing fast and hard competition tricks, but feels most at home when you’re just chilling out and trying to learn or swap some new tricks with friends.

The circular finger spin area is sufficiently deep to allow for easy to hit finger spins. Because it’s a circular finger spin area and not a finger centering finger spin area, finger spins are a bit shorter but are easier to control. We’ve been able to hit finger spin tricks, and especially binds, very comfortably with the Breeze.

With a slightly wider than normal gap size, the Breeze is great for tricks with many string layers. The bulbous step right off of the bearing works well for increasing horizontal play potential, and has the added benefit of making rejections easier to perform.
