World YoYo Champion Marcus Koh shows off his clean, ultra-fast tricks and gives some background information on his latest bi-metal yoyo release in this new video. Always nice to get some backstory on the development of a new yoyo from a champ like Marcus!
Yoyo used is the Throw Revolution Zephyr II.
By Steve Brown
Throw Revolution has announced the Zephyr II, a bi-metal version of their mono-metal budget yoyo released last year. They’ve kept the weight down to 64 grams to hold to the current trend towards lighter yoyos, but upped the ratio of how much of that weight is concentrated in the rims. Expect the Zephyr II to throw heavy, play light, and spin for a loooong time!
Expect to see the Zephyr II at YoYoExpert.com soon. Check out specs and more photos below!

Japanese EDM group Future Boyz (you might remember them from their appearance at the 2015 World YoYo Contest) just dropped a new video for their song “Throw Down with MK” and yeah…it’s a straight up yoyo video. The music video features Shaqler, because they are amazing, as well as stage footage of a pile of different players from the recent THROWDOWN contest in Japan. I’m always excited to see our scene get some love…huge thanks to Future Boyz for shining a light on some of the best players in our scene.
Featuring Shaqler (John Ando, Atsushi Yamada, Shu Takada), Ann Connolly, Tessa Piccillo, Hajime Miura, Marcus Koh, Ben Conde, Carlos Braun, and Paul Kerbel.

World YoYo Champion Marcus Koh gives us a clean 1-throw video with the Kaiser, the latest release from his company Throw Revolution. Something I noticed that I wasn’t expecting…that silver ring that’s engraved in the cup? It actually pops more than you would expect while the yoyo is in motion. I kept catching little flashes off it while he was playing, and the effect was unexpected and interesting. Nice work, Marcus!

2011 World YoYo Champion Marcus Koh has brought his new company, Throw Revolution, out swinging with a couple of nice releases and some great videos. Check out his latest, featuring exactly the kind of awesomeness that gets you a World title.
Yoyo used is the Throw Revolution Vertex.
By YoYoNews
The Vertex is the first yoyo from Throw Revolution, the new company from 2011 World YoYo Champion (and first champion ever from Singapore), Marcus Koh. The Vertex is very much designed to be a competition yoyo, and is easily one of the fastest playing yoyos we’ve ever laid our hands on.
The Throw Revolution Vertex is incredibly fast, and incredibly stable. Those words get thrown around a lot when describing new yoyos, but few models earn it with the kind of ferocity the Vertex does…at times throwing the Vertex almost feels like trying to tame a wild animal. This yoyo is for experienced, serious competitors who are looking to squeeze every possible second out of their stage time. The slightly contoured V profile combined with the extraordinary weight distribution make the Vertex the perfect compliment to Throw Revolution owner Marcus Koh’s fast, technical play style and a must-have for any player looking to hit that level of speed and perfection. The distribution of weight from the stainless steel rims has clearly been well thought-out and agonized over during the design process, and the results are truly stunning.
Available in solid blue or solid red, the Vertex keeps things simple with very basic engraving. But even simple can be wonderful, and the anodizing colors seem normal at first glance, but upon closer inspection are quite tough and incredibly rich. The blue has a high amount of purple mixed in, resulting in a richness and depth that is difficult to photograph and even more difficult to describe. In person the red teeters on the edge of the same color as fresh blood, no doubt drawn from underestimating the speed of the Vertex and cranking yourself in the face. Both colors are more stunning in person.
The Throw Revolution Vertex retails for $180, and is not a casual purchase in price or in play value. The Vertex is a serious yoyo for serious competitors, and worth the investment if you’re a contest player who is chasing every possible advantage on stage. The Vertex is a beautifully made piece of equipment and while it’s expensive…it’s worth it.
The Throw Revolution Vertex is available now through YoYoExpert.

Throw Revolution has released their first model, the Vertex! Designed by Marcus Koh and his father, the Vertex is built specifically for high-level horizontal competition play. With Marcus’ skills as a yoyo player and his father’s skills in design, this is definitely looking like a contest killer of a yoyo. Check out the promo video above, and then head over to Marcus’ shop to order your own. These should be hitting retailers soon!
