Ever since I started throwing again about three years ago, I always was drawn to 3yo3. Landon Balk just seemed like an artist channeling his talent into making yoyos. He put out some incredible creations.

About two years ago I managed to buy an Al5 and was very impressed with how it plays. The profile is very similar to the SF Cadence.

On Friday my Bassline 2 arrived, and I cannot believe how well it plays. It’s a mix between the MMC and the Grail. Very floaty! And very fun.

Are there any other 3yo3 fans out there?

Feel free to share pictures of your 3yo3yos.

> Acryllion review by Raymond Pruitt Introduction: When I E-mailed Landon because I had caught wind of a new yoyo, I wasn’t expecting anything more than “I am not really looking for testers” or “No, but thanks for asking”. Then when I got the E-mail that said “Sure, I’d love to have you test it” I was thrilled. I had tried 3yo3’s Cosmo at the national yoyo contest and I loved it. I don’t like the width of the Cosmo, but do like the width of the acryllion. They’re the same width, but th…

Looks like @anon5341354 used to own one of these as well!

Assuming that Landon doesn’t make yoyos anymore, is that right?

I really enjoyed the Bassline – great organic yoyo!
