Wait, I may have misread that. Is there a company called IYoYo that makes a yoyo called Steel? Are they aware there’s a company called ILOVEYOYO that makes a St. Eel?

I just wish someone would make more eli dirts. I think that was the mini with the tungsten rings. That was the best mini throw I have ever played. I suspect ever will play. key chain size full sized play. close your eyes and you would swear your throwing a full sized yoyo.

I stand corrected I didn’t know they made a prototype of one, i only knew they had a few models of the 1.4 they made for production. Sweet find I wonder how many other companies have carbon fiber prototypes laying around.
