The Draupnir by YoYoRecreation is a bi-metal yo-yo released in 2013. It is widely used among even Team YoYoRecreation and is highly successful and popular in competition usage, with notable users being Iori Yamaki and Akitoshi Tokubuchi.
Description[]
The Draupnir has a lightweight 7075 aluminum body with stainless steel rims. A denser rim material theoretically increases its spin time and stability. Along with its light weight, it is very maneuverable on the string and spins with great stability - two very important characteristics a competition-grade yo-yo must have - which is possibly why its use is widespread among the YoYoRecreation contest team. The Draupnir also features handmade silicone IrPad response, along with the same two-stepped C-bearing as the titanium Dazzler.
The gold-colored Attuned version has a slightly wider gap, made specifically to Tokubuchi's personal preferences.
In 2014, YoYoRecreation released a composite material (plastic with metal weight rings) yo-yo based on the Draupnir, the Triad.
In 2015, YoYoRecreation re-released the Draupnir to feature a high-end version of the DS bearing produced by NSK Micro.
