The Sage is an update to one of our most popular yoyos (now called the Sage Classic). The original Sage was featured in more videos than any other model, so we took special care when updating it to ensure it maintains its excellent accessibility and performance. The new Sage maintains the classic star shape of the original, but now is made from a more durable and attractive polycarbonate body, allowing for more dynamic colors. It’s cap has also been redesigned to allow for fingerspin tricks like the popular DNA. It also features a slightly larger diameter for more more powerful spins than the original Sage. Below is our review for the original Sage, all of which still applies to the updated model.YoYoTricks.com Sage Yoyo Review
An exclusive to YoYoTricks.com, The Sage Yoyo was designed specifically for players learning how to yoyo on YoYoTricks.com. Built to our specifications by YoYoFactory, we wanted The Sage to be the yoyo for someone who is looking for that one yoyo that can introduce them to all the different yoyo play styles. For someone who is new to yoyoing, The Sage plays easy and responsive out of the box. It is well suited to all kinds of basic string tricks as well as certain looping tricks that involve the Flip motion, like Shoot the Moon and Stalls. To keep The Sage playing like new we recommend getting some Thin Yoyo Lube which helps protect the bearing and keeps it playing responsive. This lube is included in The Sage Yoyo Starter Pack, recommended for anyone who is new to yoyoing, but is serious about starting to learn tricks. For more advanced Unresponsive String Tricks, The Sage can be easily upgraded with the addition of a VIP yoyo bearing (sold separately, or as a part of The Sage Yoyo Starter Pack). Swapping out the included thin bearing for the VIP bearing will more than double sleep times and opens up a whole new world of tricks for more advanced players. For those interested in 3A style yoyoing, 2 Sage yoyos upgraded with VIP yoyo bearings can’t be beat for the price. For 5A (Freehand), its light, wide, and nimble build can only be beat by yoyos specifically designed for that style. After swapping out the thin bearing for the VIP bearing in the Starter Pack, just pick up some counterweights and you are ready to go. (We do not recommend the Sage for Offstring style play.)Manufacturer's Description of The Sage Yoyo
