Dubulo - Delrin Series

The new delrin Dubulo (formerly known as Monkey Knuckles) are the smoothest variant of this toy ever made. These guys give professional grade performance. They ship with soft 550 paracord, which handles like a dream. The individual balls and end grips are machined from high quality POM/ delrin material, which will hold up to any abuse you give them. They are slightly smaller than the wooden models, at just 35mm diameter, and weigh a bit more, at 75g per set. The result is a compact set that flows with excellent momentum. They come boxed and pre-strung, with two additional strings, a carry bag, an info card, and a couple of stickers.

Note that because these are so smooth on the string, they are slightly more difficult to learn on than the wooden models. Intermediate and advanced players will almost certainly appreciate and prefer the feel and performance of the delrin, but beginners may prefer to start on one of the wooden models, or to start developing their skills with just one ball on the string, until they develop a feel for the way these flow.

General Info on Dubulo

Dubulo is about as simple as a toy can be. It consists of two large balls tethered on a string, with two small beads at either end that serve as grips or counterweights. The design of the toy allows players to integrate elements of play from a number of other skill toys, including yo-yos, poi, and others, as well as totally unique styles of play. The idea is to use the different structural elements in order to create different patterns of motion, isolated tricks, and combinations. You'll find a solid base of tutorials introducing different styles of play, tricks, and tips for getting started on our tutorial playlist.

Dubulo was first developed in 2003, partially in response to trends seen with other toys, including other skill toys, becoming increasingly high tech and complicated. Dubulo was an attempt to get back to a more basic kind of play that was not reliant on precision engineering, and would offer a rewarding experience for beginners learning their first tricks, as well as having the depth to allow advanced players to come up with far more technical moves.

Dubulo allows for both individual tricks and continuous flow which links tricks together. One of the unique features of the toy is that there is rarely a drop or a "reset" required. When a trick is missed, it is relatively easy for players to recover by linking their play with a different move instead.

Love them!

I had the wooden ones for years and always wanted to try the delrin version. Safe to say they are awesome and feel much smoother. The extra weight and smaller size make a difference and in a great way.

Very fun when time is taken to play around an develop a flow to playing with these. It can seem hard and frustrating until patience leads to improvements.
