May 5, 2014 By Rafael Matsunaga

Large contests are the perfect occasion for teams to add new players, and this years Japan National Yo-yo Contest was no exception!

Duncan Crew got a new member at the contest, and oddly enough, not from Japan! Jason Kao, two-time 3A Taiwan National champion, and loyal Duncan fan for several years, is now part of Duncan’s massive sponsored team!

Sneak Peek at Updated YoYoFactory Superstar

July 17, 2013 By André Boulay

SuperStar 2

YoYoFactory has started leaking pictures of their new SuperStar design via Social Media and it looks like a real winner! The SuperStar was a big change for yo-yos.

Another look at superstar

When John Ando used it to win in 2008 it brought full size yo-yos back and ever since then they continue to be the popular choice for competitors around the world.

Picture above showcases the differences between the original SuperStar and the new SuperStar.

The NEW SuperStar shown above on left next to the original SuperStar design on the right.

Quoted from YoYoFactory:

In 2008 we wanted to see how far we could push the rules of yo-yo design. We wanted to make something wide and easy to control, because that’s what our team was asking for. We wanted something that could spin longer so our team could have the best chance at success. What we came up with was the Superstar. Early prototypes were hit or miss. The ones that worked were amazing! But, because of the inherent difficulty in the design, we didn’t plan on making them a production model. That is, until our team started winning World and National titles with it! John Ando was the first to capture a World title with the Superstar in his ground breaking freestyle that turned a new generation of yo-yoers onto arm tricks and movement in a freestyle. After that, we knew we had to make this for every player. After careful engineering and working closely with our factories we finally had the ultimate competitive design. The Superstar has gone on to win tons of titles, and become a staple yo-yo in any players arsenal. Now, 5 years later, we have taken the core philosophy of the Superstar and given it new attributes that todays players are asking for. We pushed the boundaries even wider. We brought the inner wall closer to the bearing to reduce friction when doing horizontal tricks. And, most noticeably, we designed it without hubstacks to minimize center weight for even longer spin times. This is a true competitor, and with it you can be the next Superstar. Available Worldwide August 1st

New Paolo Bueno Video Spot

December 3, 2012 By André Boulay

New Paolo Bueno Video Spot:

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.

Yuuki Spencer wins CA States!

March 4, 2012 By Rafael Matsunaga

It was a contest full of big names and fierce competition, with World and National Champions in all divisions! Taking first place in 1A and the US$1000 prize was World Champion Yuuki Spencer, followed by YoyoFactory team members Gentry Stein and Augie Fash.

The 5A title went to Tyler Severance, who beat Miguel Correa for the other thousand-dollar prize.

YoyoJam took  home the titles in 2A, 3A, and 4A, with Joseph Harris, Alex Hattori, and Bryan Figueroa, respectively. Each of them took home 500 dollars!

Judging by the feedback by both attendees and those who followed the action on the live stream, it’s safe to say that California States was a huge success, and we hope to see more contests with coverage and prizes as good as those brought to us by Chris Allen, who ran this superb event!
