A Greek vase painting from 500 BC shows a boy playing yo-yo. Greek records from the period describe toys made out of wood, metal, or painted terra cotta (fired clay). It is believed, however, that the yo-yo originated in China at a much earlier date. The terra cotta disks were used to ceremonially offer the toys of youth to certain gods when a child came of age—discs of other materials were used for actual play.

Velocity

THE yo-yo of the 21st century: the Velocity is the first yo-yo of its kind. With the adjust-o-matic dials on each side of the yo-yo, the Velocity can be turned from a classic up and down yo-yo into a modern bind-return yo-yo with the turn of a dial. With the dials turned down for classic performance, you can throw the yo-yo and tug it back to your hand with ease, which makes it easier to learn the basics of yo-yoing. With the dials turned all the way up, the Velocity is capable of doing the most difficult tricks you can throw at it. Combine the adjust-o-matic dials with silicone pad response and the high quality SPEC bearing and you have the yo-yo of the future available now!
