An entire video dedicated to yoyo players born in 1997. And every one of them is a fantastic player. This is the kind of crazy, left-field brilliance that keeps me in yoyoing. I love everything about this.

YoYoFactory player and all-around fantastic human Ann Connolly is back with another review of a new YoYoFactory yoyo, this time for the Paolista! The new signature model for Paolo Bueno, the YoYoFactory Paolista is a solid contest yoyo that’s just hitting shelves now. Check it out!

Paolo Bueno has been quietly becoming one of the absolute best players in the game, and he’s finally getting his own signature edition yoyo from YoYoFactory! Available now, the YoYoFactory Paolista yoyo is focused on consistency, durability, and pure performance. The thick rim design offers sustainability through long combos, the shape is as comfortable in the hand as it is on the string, and the gap has been brought in ever so slightly so that binds are tight!
We love watching Paolo play, and the Paolista looks like it’s going to be a hit with the competition crowd. Nice work, Paolo & YoYoFactory!

YoYoFactory‘s 2013 West Coast Tour and Southern California YoYo Contest ended with a bang this weekend, with dozens of new yoyo players showing up to compete for the very first time, and established champs like Alex Hattori, Ernest Kahn, Clint Armstrong, and more competing for the top prizes. The YoYoFactory demonstration team spent two weeks in and around the Palm Springs area doing daily school and in-store demonstrations and teaching sessions, and judging by the contest turnout the tour definitely did its job! With an estimated attendance of more than 600 people and nearly 50 registered competitors, YoYoFactory is doing a great job bringing new players to the sport, and they got a ton of press for this event! Full results are below!
There was also an unfortunate mistake made during score tabulation that resulted in Alex Hattori’s score being incorrectly listed the day of the event at 7th Place, instead of his correct placing (shown below) of 2nd Place in the Open Division. Contest organizer Tyler Severance has issued this apology:
I would like to offer a huge apology to Alex and Linda Hattori. Alex did an incredible job with his 3A freestyle in the Open division, but unfortunately there was a mistake made while calculating scores and Alex’s 1A Prelim score was used instead of his much higher Open score. He didn’t recieve his earned 2nd place title and instead was calulated as 7th. Alex and his mother Linda very kindly asked to see his raw scores and remained persistent during a busy time of the contest, showing us a mistake that would otherwise have gone unnoticed. I would again like to apologize to Alex and his mother but also thank them for bringing this to our attention, and we certainly intend to improve our accuracy for the future.
1A Champion – Paolo Bueno
Open Champion – Patrick Borgerding
1A Prelim
You’d be hard pressed to find a more creative, passionate, drive group of professionals then those of the YoYoFactory Team. World and National Champions, International icons, Trick innovators. Each move of each trick is meticulously refined to be the most valuable, jaw dropping maneuver on stage, or film. Paulo is no exception. Holding it down for us in Southern California, and ushering in a new generation of Champion Yo-Yo Players, his tricks are deep. This new concept video takes it beyond just a new set of tricks, but explores a larger flow and visual concept that is wonderfully executed.
