YoYo Related News From Around The World
Roland Thomas-Biason got stuck at the airport after EYYC with Josh Vickers, and that means we get a video! I think the take-away here is that if Roland gets stuck anywhere for any length of time with another yoyo player, we get a video. Moar, please.
Yoyo used is the G-Squared Banshee.
Kyle Kosarek and Martin Sanchez get down with the good times in this new collaborative video from Core Co. and G Squared. Good dudes, good times.
Yoyos used are the G2 Pelican and the Core Co. Tako.
We have your first look at the new machined plastic yoyo from G Squared! Check out full specs and more pics below, along with details on the release direct from G Squared.
The Ghost is G2’s first attempt at a plastic yoyo, but this is no ordinary plastic. Jake decided to design a yoyo using PTFE (Teflon), you know the stuff the is used as a coating for your non-stick pots and pans. Besides the obvious grindability reasons, PTFE was used to take advantage of the plastics higher density. Allowing for thinner walls and more aggressive weight distribution than most plastic yoyos on the market today.
The Ghost will be released in white with multiple hub colorways throughout the summer starting in late July. Estimated retail is $65. Want one before then? You might be lucky enough to snag one from the G2 booth at Ohio States or SEC.
Both the design and play were greatly inspired from the Banshee which can easily been seen from the angles in catch zone, along with the speed and agility felt on the string.
Daniel “Zammy” Ickler dropped a new video of möbius tricks. As you’d expect from Zammy the music is good, the tricks are burly, and the lighting is…well, the tricks are great. Looks like Zammy is freshly inspired by his new collaboration yoyo.
Yoyo used is the GSquared Wolf.

Check out the latest release from Ohio-based G-Squared YoYos! The Banshee has been in prototype/testing for a while now, and it looks like the G-Squared folks have finally settled on their perfect iteration. Check out details and specs below.
The long awaited production Banshee is finally finished. Countless man hours and four versions later G2 has finalized the design. This was the first time G Squared committed to keeping competitive play as the number one factor for a yoyo. The Banshee is a finely tuned slaying machine. G2 increased the rim weight from the previous models to find the right balance between stability, spin time, and agility. The initial drop will feature solid colors with the G2 Diamond blast finish. First release will be Sunday June 12th, 8 pm est only at GSquaredYoyos.com the banshee will be coming to your favorite retail store soon.

We’ve been seeing prototypes kicking around for a while now (they’ve even popped up for sale on BST forums already), but now we have our first good look at the final production version of the new G Squared Marvel yoyo. Check out the photos, specs, and press release below.
We are proud to finally show you the first look at the production Marvel! This design has taken us nearly a year to perfect! Our goal for the Marvel was to create a yoyo that would reignite the sense of awe that drew us all into this hobby and sport.
The design of the Marvel cannot be described by a generic shape class. We used attributes from all 3 major shapes—organic, v, and h—to create something with unparalleled comfort. With this release, we also wanted to offer a design that would cater to finger spin tricks. Along with the concave cup, we used an undercut, which offers a lower center weight for a greater overall playability.
Put all these elements together and you have our perfect “everyday throw”, competition inspired while remaining comfortable and fun!
Jesse Christe posted a new trick dump video, with a ton of nifty “single move” tricks and concepts. A couple we’ve seen before, but there are quite a few new ideas and variations…lots of great concepts to work on!
Yoyo used is the Albatross by G Squared.
Mike Marshall plays through the spray of a waterfall in this new video. Mike’s play is smooth, fluid, and clean and he’s hitting some pretty hard stuff. He took 4th at the Pacific Northwest Regionals a couple of years ago, but other than that I don’t see any recent contest results from him…but watching this video, he seems like a player to keep an eye on!
Yoyos used are the Albatross and Aftershock by G-Squared.
