Daniel Dietz Now Co-Owner of Spin Dynamics

July 30, 2015 By Steve Brown

Daniel Dietz Spin Dynamics
Looks like Daniel Dietz is moving on from Yomega and joining Spin Dynamics as a co-owner! Check out the announcement video and press release below.
Spin Dynamics is excited to announce that we are bringing renowned and respected professional yoyo player, Daniel Dietz, on to our team as our new Co-Owner.
Here is what Dietz had to say about his new position:
“One of my lifelong dreams in yoyoing has been to own my own yoyo company. I am proud to say that today this aspiration is coming true. With Nick Gumlaw, I could not have asked for a better partner. Nick has been a major reason I have been able to achieve what I have in yoyoing. From teaching the basics, helping me learn how to compete, guiding me in my freestyle construction, and helping me design the Prodigy, all along the way Nick has been a real mentor to me. I am beyond happy to start this new journey with him and Spin Dynamics.
I also would like to take this time to thank the yoyo comunity as a whole for always being very supportive of me and I cannot wait to continue to help make the community grow even more under the Spin Dynamics brand.
Also, we are already underway with the production of Dietz’s first Signature yoyo from Spin Dynamics.
Follow Spin Dynamics on Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, and Twitter for more details.

Yoyorecreation Portrait: Yuusuke Ootsuka 2015

July 29, 2015 By Steve Brown

YoYoRecreation has released another “team portrait” video, this one featuring Yuusuke Ootsuka.

This is one of the first yoyo videos to be shot extensively with drone footage and the result is staggeringly beautiful. It’s such a completely different look for yoyoing, and once again Backspin leader Piotrek Smietana has taken yoyo cinematography to the next level.

Yuusuke’s yoyo play is fantastic, but hearing him talk about the motivation behind his freestyles is really my favorite part. This part in particular really struck me:

Nowadays, tricks are telling too much information to the audience. That’s why I want to express only a few things with my freestyle. I think that most people don’t choose the most important parts, and simply don’t watch how it looks overall. I want to make a point, that showing the best of your skill doesn’t always mean to show all of your tricks in a single freestyle.

New players coming up and starting to think about competing in freestyle competitions..pay close attention to this idea. I promise you, it will be the thing that separates you from the pack.

Huge thanks to YoYoRecreation and Piotrek Smietana for this incredible video!

YoYo Spotlight – Amplified Shout

July 28, 2015 By YoYoNews

Amplified Shout yoyo

Amplified Shout Specs:

Diameter: 57 mm
Width: 43.5 mm
Gap: 4.30 mm
Weight: 66.95 grams
Response: 19mm Slim Pads
Bearing: Size C (.250 x .500 x .187)

The Shout is the first release from Amplified Return Tops, a new US-based yoyo brand created by LaMonte Patterson.

PLAY

The Shout has a big, angular feel that makes it feel like a much larger yoyo while still retaining the speed of something more compact. It plays reasonably fast, and the weight distribution gives it plenty of stability for all modern 1A and 5A play. If you like your yoyos with an especially wide “V” profile, the Shout really delivers. The Shout spins smooth and gives you great spin times, even with plane-breaking tricks, and is a promising freshman release from this new company. The Shout is definitely a stable, fun, throw for everyday practice or your next competition freestyle.

Shout_2

LOOKS

The fit and finish on the Amplified Shout are quite good. The color schemes are bright and fun, and well-done by a clearly reputable anodizing house. The machining is high quality, without distracting machine marks or flat spots.

VALUE

The Amplified Shout retails for $100 – $110, depending on colorway. The price is reasonable for a small-run production piece from a new company, and the quality lives up to the price tag. The Amplified Shout is not a casual purchase, but it’s a solid one.

BUY THE AMPLIFIED SHOUT

The Amplified Shout is available now direct from Amplified Return Tops.
