The Fluchs (pronounced 'Flux') was the first yo-yo produced by Anti-Yo. The plan was to release the yo-yo for 3 months to be sold to the public, and then to buy back the extras. The Fluchs had contrasting black and pink halves. It also had a special coating to reduce friction during palm grinds.
Ironically, the special coating which was one of the yo-yo's biggest selling points was also a cause for its partial failure. Since the coating covered absolutely every part of the yo-yo, the designers had to take that into account when choosing an axle diameter. The original axle was slightly too small as well as short, causing wobble. A simple mod to fix this is a single layer of scotch tape over the whole length of the axle. This allows it to fit snugly into the threading of the half of the yo-yo.
