Not MegaMonster but another superwide yoyo Hop Star by Kuyos in 2011

Edit: all thanks to Lex and Josh for this, it is not superwide/Monster

Tbh I have been asking around and really got that mix answer on kingstar yo, superwide and monster cuz all three seems to drop in same year of 2011 lol

I know in Chinese local comp he used the Hop King but when he wear YYF tee seems he might use like Monster or SuperWide. In case my observation skills got any flaw then you’re right for the Hop King.

I was there! I can confirm he was using a Kingyostar Hop King 2, a heavier variant of the HopKing.  
He actually let me try that same one which led to me getting one of my own later 🙂

The Hop King 1 was already relatively heavy wasn’t it? How much did the HK2 weigh?

Thank you so much for your info. I finally got that yoyo info after all those year 😭

Do you by any chance know the specs on it? Is the weight only change?
