Lol, I think that’s the one they had a name contest for.

I submitted “TFL one Cup” and got honorable mention

The names of the Phidias and Locus definitely helped win me over.

At first I thought, “no, absolutely not”, but then I recalled the Mjolnir. Then the Freya. Then I read the comments and realized, “yes, all the time, I’m such a sucker” was the correct answer.

After the Locus I wondered if the owner was a math major or teacher.

I’ve always wanted to try a SuperNova from YYF, however I just never really bothered with tracking one down.
When the BettyNova came out I figured close enough and bought one. Ended up loving it and it’s one of my favorite throws still.
I guess the name and the homage to the original SuperNova got me to buy one.

Coming back after a 50 year absence I flipped out when I saw the Butterfly AL. New ones weren’t available so l wad hunting the BST pages. When I found one I was embarrassingly happy. Now I have a few and throw them nearly every day.

Name, Color Ways, Graphics can at least perk my interest to do some product research. I enjoy a clever backstory.

I want a pony too but probably not gonna get one.

I think for me it was the kanto. The name sounded very intriguing and the overall design of the yo-yo looked like a poke ball so I HAD to try it out since I’m a Pokémon fan of course :wink:. But so far it’s been a great throw !!!
