Benson Fok Leaves Something; Joins YOYO.Y

September 23, 2015 By Steve Brown

Big news in the Asian yoyo scene! Benson Fok (2012-2014 1A China National Champ / 2012, 2013, 2015 1A Hong Kong Champ) has left Something by YoYoAddict and joined new Chinese brand YOYO.Y. I caught up with Benson on Facebook and he had this to say about the switch:

YOYO.Y is a new company in China. I hope i can try my best to improve the level of yoyoing in China and bring them as a main spot in the world in the future.

Check out this announcement video, also featuring new YOYO.Y team member Ju Zi Liang (2015 5A China National Champion).

YoYo Spotlight – YoYoJam Diamondback II

September 23, 2015 By YoYoNews

YoYoJam Diamondback II

YoYoJam Diamondback II Specs:

Diameter: 55.96 mm
Width: 42.75 mm
Weight: 68 grams
Response: YoYoJam Silicone O-Ring (19mm pad)
Bearing: YoYoJam Speed Bearing Size C (.250 x .500 x .187)

The YoYoJam Diamondback II is a revised version of the Diamondback, re-imagined to meet the more demanding needs of today’s players. While the original Diamondback was an excellent competition yoyo, the Diamondback II revisits the weight distribution to put even more power in the player’s hands.

PLAY

The Diamondback II has a truly distinctive feel in the hand and on the string. The body thickness and profile give this yoyo an amazing ringing sound during play that we’ve never heard from any other yoyo. The result is an absolutely unique playing experience, something that YoYoJam has delivered time and time again over the history of their company. Redesigned by YoYoJam to be the signature model for team member Tylor McCallumore, the weight distribution on the Diamondback II gives the player an incredible amount of spin and stability, making this a top choice for long, involved combos that push your equipment to its limits.

LOOKS

Available only in black or light blue, the Diamondback two is a visually simplistic yoyo. The heavy decoration of the first model is gone, with the Diamondback II only showing off a simple “TM” logo on the hub for Tylor McCallumore, and some text on a flat wall inside the cup. The contrast of the wide nickel-bronze weight ring against the black anodized body looks fantastic, and the light blue version will be perfect for stage work.

VALUE

The YoYoJam Diamondback II retails for $136, which is average for a high-quality bi-metal yoyo. Not a casual purchase, but if you’re a YoYoJam fan looking for your next contest killer, or just an aspiring contest player looking for something different to get the job done, the Diamondback II is a great choice.

BUY THE YOYOJAM DIAMONDBACK II

The YoYoJam Diamondback II is available now at YoYoExpert.com.
