Monometal Yoyos

Monometal Yoyos

A monometal yoyo means that the yoyo is made from a single type of metal. These yoyos make up the vast majority of metal yoyos and are a great choice for yoyers looking for their first or second metal yoyo.

Monometal yoyos are most commonly made from different types of aluminum alloys, each with unique properties that affect the performance and construction of the yoyo.

What materials are monometal yoyos made from?

Monometal yoyos are most often made from different types of aluminum alloys. Each material has slightly different characteristics that influence the weight, durability, and possible construction of the yoyo.

  • AL 6061 (aircraft-grade aluminum) – the most common material used for monometal yoyos. It is affordable, easy to machine, and allows manufacturers to create many different anodized color combinations. However, it is softer than stronger alloys and can be more prone to scratches or dents from impacts.
  • AL 7075 – a stronger aluminum alloy that allows manufacturers to create lighter designs with thinner walls and better weight distribution. It is more resistant to impacts compared to AL 6061.
  • AL 7068 – one of the most advanced aluminum alloys used in yoyo manufacturing. It offers an excellent strength-to-weight ratio and allows extremely refined constructions without losing structural integrity.
