I’m going to guess it was an Arctic Circle 2

The reason is because I want them to do another run of the Arctic Circle 2 which is the best CLYW throw ever.

Who isn’t!?

I bet they get 50 emails a day about it, people telling them they should do another run of AC2s

And I bet at least one or two of the emails isn’t even from me!

I think the fact that there is no one yoyo that dominates the competition scene, even within a sponsored team, kinda proves that success is 98% player and maybe 2% which yoyo they choose. In fact, it is probably far more important that a yoyo be one that a competitor bonds with and feels most comfortable with than it be regarded as a “performance monster” by others.

Look, you do what you want, it’s a free country.

But as for me, I’m still gonna spend an absurd amount of money on yoyos just to be sure.
