A Look Inside the YoYoFactory Loop 2020

By

YoYoFactory has spent years in search of the perfect 2A looping yoyos. From the original Loop 720 to the 1080 and now the 2020, it’s been a remarkably patient game of testing and iteration until finally they’ve built what is probably the greatest looping yoyos ever made to date, by any company. In this video, they break down how the Loop 2020 works, how and why you should adjust it, and how to handle the equipment end of 2A. Once you’ve got that sorted, you can move on to the 10,000 hours of practice. You know…the fun part. 😉

The YoYoFactory Loop 720 and Loop 2020 are available at YoYoExpert.

(And as a bonus, here’s a video where multiple World Champion Shu Takada shows you how he sets up his Loop 2020s!)

YoYo Spotlight – Mythril Gravitas

By

Mythril Gravitas Specs:

Diameter: 56.39 mm
Width: 44.46 mm
Weight: 66.2 grams
Response: 19mm Slim Pad
Bearing: Size C (.250 x .500 x .187)
Retail Price: $120 USD

The latest release from Mythril is a stunning looking new bi-metal design – The Gravitas!

The Gravitas is a very well balanced yo-yo. It perfectly blends speed and stability to give you all the performance you need for the most complex routine without feeling sluggish or out of control in any situations. It has a comfortable organic profile with inner cup fitted steel rings to provide the ultimate control in play and a large catch zone for those more risky maneuvers!

PLAY

The Gravitas is one of the most effortlessly fun yoyo releases of the year, with all of the power and spin time you could ever need in a chunky, organic body that feels too comfortable to play this good. The Gravitas plays fast and smooth, but has slightly more heft on the throw than the usual bi-metal yoyo. Instead of making the yoyo feel heavy, this just makes it feel more powerful and it really delivers in that department…during our play testing it always seems to have plenty of spin when it came back to the hand, and powered through all kinds of tricks easily and effortlessly.

LOOKS

The Mythril Gravitas continues their simple and classy aesthetic with no logo engraved on the yoyo itself, but a sharply domed hub and a single silver circle engraved around that hub. The result is instantly iconic, and it really lets you focus more on the actual shape of the yoyo. Mythril make player’s yoyos, meant to be a workhorse for your day in, day out play. The simple aesthetic (done really well) combined with quality machining and anodizing, makes the Gravitas and Mythril’s other releases really stand out in a crowded market.

VALUE

The Mythril Gravitas retails for $120 and is worth every penny. If you’re looking for a yoyo that can do it all, and look great in the process, Mythril has got you covered with this release. Anyone who is a fan of bi-metal spin times and comfortable, chunky rims should pick this up immediately.

BUY NOW

The Mythril Gravitas is available now at YoYoExpert.com.

Duncan Toys Presents: Tylor McCallumore

By

Tylor McCallumore is one of the great unsung heroes of the northeast yoyo scene. He started off at the A2Z YoYo Club when he was just six years old (!!!) and is still consistently one of the best players in the room.

CLYW Presents: Dusk by Alann Herrera

Beyond The Brands: Intergalactic Expedition – Colin Beckford with the SUCCTION

By

Colin Beckford gets the A-RT treatment in this new video that makes us wait through almost three minutes of memes before we get to his amazing yoyoing. OR his amazing yoyoing interrupts what could have been seven and a half minutes of continuous memes…depends on your priorities, I guess.

Yoyo used is the A-RT x UNPRLD Sucction. It’s terrible, you won’t like it.

heshgod x A-RT Edit

By

It’s rare that someone drops a 10 minute yoyo video, and even rarer still that it actually needed to be 10 minutes long. This video could have been twice as long.

Featuring, like, everyone.

Mark Mangarin – Akita

By

Mark Mangarin never fails to amaze with his creativity and trick construction. His role in SCALES definitely confirms that his knowledge of tech yoyo play runs deep, but it’s one thing to know it and another to execute it. In this quick little video, Mark reminds you that he’s got the chops.

CLYW has been quiet this year, but working on a lot of new designs that we expected wouldn’t be released until 2019…looks like we might get this one a little earlier. The Akita is the new signature model for Mark Mangarin, a bi-metal yoyo that runs a little wider and larger than the Manatee. Specs and release date coming soon.

Yoyo used is the CLYW Akita.
