Thrive
YoYoFactory x SUS YOYOMECHANICS - Thrive
A tri-material signature from rising YoYoFactory player Katsuya Togo, built to handle everything at once.
The Thrive is the signature model of Katsuya Togo, a rising young competitor on the YoYoFactory team, developed by SUS YOYOMECHANICS. The name carries a clear intent: to press forward toward your goals, and to embrace adversity as an opportunity to grow.
What was asked of the Thrive was speed, power, and the presence to carry a full freestyle. To deliver on that, SUS YOYOMECHANICS turned to a tri-material construction combining an A7075 aluminum body, stainless steel rims, and POM plastic. The body follows a simple step-straight profile, with the hard A7075 paired with this shape producing sharp directional changes and fast response that keeps pace with high-tempo play. The face takes a dome profile reminiscent of SUS's Will, with moderate weight toward the center adding control and tangible feedback in the hand.
A model that meets the varied demands of competition play: long combos, horizontal, slack, and whip variations... unified at a high level through the combination of three materials.
SUS YOYOMECHANICS Design Comment
"Containing Every Movement Within"
The body shape is a simple step-straight. The full outer diameter is paired with a slightly wider width of approximately 48.5mm. A tri-material construction was adopted to handle a wide range of play in a single model: high-speed combos, hop tricks, demanding slack, and whip variations.
The three-material role distribution secures inertia and spin retention at the outer edge, while maintaining quick spin-up and sharp directional response. Rather than a sluggish stability from weight alone, the feel is tuned so that trajectory stays readable at high speed and tempo changes register clearly.
Additionally, the optimized step placement minimizes unwanted movement even in dynamic sequences, achieving the precision needed for intricate tricks. A single model that delivers on the contradictory demands of Katsuya Togo's play: delicate and dynamic, simultaneously.
