I’ve heard that as a company YYF is not very nice…
No hate, just what I’ve seen from my experience

I’ve dealt personally with Yoyofactory many times. Each time has been a complete joy as everyone has always been very helpful, kind, and generous. My first time contacting YYF I corresponded with Ben and he was incredibly good to me and worked diligently to aliviate my woes.

It’s been my experience that often, people having difficulties with a product, yoyo related or not, they think they need to shout and scream to get help. They like to make a seen in hopes their needs will be taken care of, via facebook, the forums, or in person. It appears Ben doesn’t appreciate that approach and let’s you know it.

Manners always matter! I’ve read about some pretty strong negative experiences people supposedly have had dealing with YYF and as easy as it’s always been for myself to deal with YYF, I always wonder what the other side of the story is. I’m not going to argue anything, I can’t verify or discount anyone elses experience, just wanted to share my own experience and it’s been all good.

I’ve enjoyed many of the YYF yoyos. I’d probably own more if more of them had a different finish. I really like good grinding finishes, not that I’m great at grinding just that I have smaller hands so when I inadvertantly make contact with the yo sticky finishes slow it down more.

I haven’t dealt with YYF in a customer service standpoint (I hardly buy yoyos new), but there have been a few forum interactions that have left a bad taste in my mouth as regards to Ben and his company. The most prevalent of which was in regards to their release of the Superwide and the Monster.

As some of you may remember, the hype behind these two yoyos were how “innovative” they were.
I asked in a very polite and inquisitive manner what made them so innovative. I understood that they had maxed out one spec of the yoyo, but I failed to see how that was innovative. I believe my exact question was along the lines of “What benefits do you expect to have by maxing out one characteristic of a yoyo? I don’t see it being any better than anything else, to be honest, and to call it innovative seems to be just kind of wrong.”

Ben responded with “Well, it makes it wider ;)”

I feel like my perfectly legitimate question was just sidestepped because he didn’t have a real answer for me, and he kind of left me looking like a jerk. All in all, I have a lot more I could say about Ben, and not much of it would be nice.

He’s a business man, and (in my experience) if you don’t give him money or show a way for him to make money, you are about as good as dirt.

Yoyo Factory yoyos? I’ve tried and owned a decent amount ,but the one that stands out amongst the rest ,in my opinion ,has to be the Skyline.I especially love my green one which has Godzilla terrorizing the sky scrapers on the side of the yoyo.
