Polyberry

The Polyberry is a modernised, polycarbonate remake of the Snowberry — a perfect blend of float and fun, while having enough juice to power through any trickset.

The Polyberry began with a desire to bring back the Snowberry, but in an improved, modernised way.

The Snowberry was our first ever plastic design, which we released in October 2022. At the time, the Snowberry was our homage to plastic yoyos — a genre that we grew up around, having come into the scene in the early 2000s. The Snowberry knocked our expectations out of the park and has been a staple in our lineup ever since. We have projects that exist best as one-and-done small batches, and then there are designs that deserve a permanent, evergreen spot in the rotation.

Our first plastic Berry definitely fit the mold of the latter, and we’re excited that the Polyberry will take its place today. The Snowberry also sparked a love in us for working with machined plastic. We were so taken by Delrin as a material, and that delight was deepened when we worked with polycarbonate on the Arctica, which later inspired our work on the Canopy PC. Earlier this year, we released Coleman’s signature in the Smoke, which combined both Delrin and polycarbonate in one of our most true, unique and honest designs. Working with these materials has just been such a joy.

We’re exactly three years from releasing the Snowberry, and the Polyberry exists today as our fifth plastic release. The Polyberry doesn’t just reflect much of our experience, learnings and familiarity with the material, but also our evolving personal philosophy with organic design, material choice, and objects of play.

The most immediate aspect of machined polycarbonate is its look and feel. Frosted plastic has a timeless, understated aesthetic — at the same time, it’s an incredibly versatile material. It’s soft enough in the hand and in play, but rigid enough that it yields excellent and predictable results from a manufacturing perspective. This unique balance allows the design process immense flexibility and creativity — working with it often feels like an inviting canvas for experimentation and play.

The capability of plastic designs have also vastly improved over the years. You still wouldn’t opt to compete with one, but when it comes to casual performance, modern plastics have seriously started to punch way above their weight.

A quick note on materials that bears mentioning — polycarbonate designs tend to sound a lot bigger than they actually are. Polycarbonate is roughly 44% the density of 6061 aluminum, so given the relationship between mass, diameter, density and overall spin power, the usual physical measurements can look and feel inflated.

TThe Polyberry is 58.4mm in diameter, 50.3mm in width, and 68.5g in mass, but contrary to what the numbers could imply, it doesn’t play overweight, or clumsy in the least. The Polyberry is one of the most floaty and agile and controlled yoyos we’ve designed — likely even more so than its predecessor.

This is subjective, of course, but the “real feel” of the yoyo is a lot closer to a 64g monometal design, if that comparison makes sense.

How the Polyberry most obviously departs from the Snowberry is the removal of the schmoove step and a vastly thickened rim. These structural changes allowed us to apportion mass more strategically — when the Polyberry gets up to speed, it’s significantly more stable than the Snowberry.

If you’ve tried any of our organics, the playfeel of the Polyberry will feel very familiar. It excels in flow, motion-focused play, and directional shifts. It handles pace and momentum well, feels very controlled, and has a wonderful “hang time” in the air.

It has to be said — the ergonomics are wonderfully friendly, too. The Polyberry sports a very round and bubbly silhouette. It’s extremely friendly in the hand, and is exceedingly soft on the catch.

We’ve used this comparison before, but it feels like catching a baseball with an old, seasoned glove.

We designed the Polyberry as a successor to the Snowberry — and for it exist in our lineup as a casual player’s rotation favourite. It’s the one you bring along for long roadtrips, the one that feels right to bust out on the Subway on the way home, the one you pick up on a late night jam. It’s the one you accidentally nail bangers on, it’s the one you drop a thousand times, the one you gift an old friend at the local meetup.

The polyberry is fun, smooth and light. It’s deceptively capable, and doesn’t take itself too seriously.

We hope you enjoy this one.
