Sōchí was founded when Luckey Li realized that he needed better, yet cheaper equipment as a competitor. AS a 5-time Canadian National Champion he knows a bit about yoyoing and for a while the idea of starting his own equipment brand sat in the back of his mind, without being acted upon. During the winter season of 2018, Josef Chung, a friend of Luckey’s, came to visit him. Luckey presented the idea and asked if it was a good one or not. The answer was obvious, and Sochi was born.

Ceramic Bearing:
Balls, inner ring, outer ring — almost everything you see here in our ceramic bearings is made from high quality ceramic. Except for the ball cage, made from Nylon to give the bearing a unique sound and feel. Absolutely no metal parts means absolutely no rust; a little soap and water is all you need to keep these fresh and clean.

Steel/Ceramic Bearing:
Stainless steel outer ring and inner ring with high quality ceramic balls inside. They do not need to lubed at all, and you won’t need to buy 100 of them at a time, hoping to get maybe 10 of them that are good. Each one will be tested before shipment.

Sochi T Bearing:
These are our centering, wing-shaped bearings. We wanted to be able to provide yoyoers with a high quality, smooth bearing, right out of the box. They do not need to lubed at all, and you won’t need to buy 100 of them at a time, hoping to get maybe 10 of them that are good. Each one will be tested before shipment.

Sochi Concave:
These are our concave, bowl-shaped bearings. We wanted to be able to provide yoyoers with a high quality, smooth bearing, right out of the box. They do not need to lubed at all, and you won’t need to buy 100 of them at a time, hoping to get maybe 10 of them that are good. Each one will be tested before shipment.
