The Velocity was created by YoYoFactory after many attempts at making a plastic yo-yo with F.A.S.T. shuttle technology. After attempting and failing at an all-plastic yo-yo with F.A.S.T. shuttles, they produced the F.A.S.T. 401k, which was made of aluminum and had the shuttles. Now the Dial has turned; Adjustable is BACK! YoYoFactory finally came back and finished their goal, the Velocity. Released to public in December 2007, it has garnered rave reviews. With a slight "H-shape", it is a very durable and stable yo-yo. With the F.A.S.T. capability it is very versatile. With a twist of the dials, it can become responsive or unresponsive.

The second generation of the Velocity sports updated shuttles and tweaked specs. The yo-yo features rubber shuttles instead of the plastic versions of the orignal. The identifying feature of the version 2 is the lack of screws, and a logo that is amusingly similar to that of Van Halen on the face of the dials.
