YoYoFactory Pulsar Collection

April 30, 2014 By Steve Brown

YoYoFactory Pulsar Collection

YoYoFactory has given us a partial unveiling of their Pulsar Collection, which will have its first release this weekend at Japan Nationals on May 3rd & 4th. Featuring a yoyo string remix of the iconic Joy Division cover art for the album “Unknown Pleasures“.

The collection includes the Shutter, the OneStar, the Superstar, and the new 2014 Genesis. All four models feature the Pulsar/String artwork, although the Superstar is the only one that comes in a color other than black. And as a nice touch, it actually looks like the Superstar comes in a blue color that references the Scientific American article showing the pulsar waves, published in 1971. The new Genesis’ most striking featuring is a stainless steel weight right, added in just below the step in the inner gap of the yoyo.

Carlos Braun – Spring 2014

April 27, 2014 By Steve Brown

2014 European Champion Carlos Braun is all set to roll through the rest of the contest season, and his new video gives a solid look at the tricks he’s going to be using to kill every other contest he enters this year. Not a lot of new stuff from his EYYC performance, but it looks likes he’s refining and polishing his tricks. If he can hit all of this as clean on stage, he’s definitely going to be a force to be reckoned with at this year’s world championship!

Yoyo used is the Werrd Irony.
