A Replay Pro. A huge congratulations to Gentry Stein for winning again. And, props to YYF for making him the right equipment for the job. That Replay Pro is so amazing, for only $15.99. ;D By the way, they are discounted to only $10.60, here at YYE, for the next few days, to celebrate that win. :o I bought a few of them, 'cause I’ve been eyeballing that Aurora for awhile now. ---

Because he won with a 15 dollar plastic yoyo. I will never look at yoyo’ing the same. If you have the skill-set, you can play great regardless of the material of the yoyo. Sure some yoyo’s perform better than others, but in the end what counts is you. ---

I was thinking about bustin out my d7000 to take a photo but I got lazy and just used my phone and good old natural light. Plus I don’t have a nice light box like you do so no point in trying to compete with you. You’ve already the yoyo photographer. I joined the game too late for that title. ---

Hmm. Interesting read. No need to say more. Anyways. I’m not gonna lie. Winning with a plastic isn’t everything. But it’s not something to ignore. It just shows how precise these players are. These guys have real talent and deserve all the bragging rights. Regardless, they put a routine together, practiced it with blood sweat and tears and placed 1st. That’s all that needs to be said. ---

It’s perfectly fine to be happy about Gentry Stein winning with his signature YoyoFactory yo-yo, which happens to be a $16 plastic. The yo-yo has his name on it, and he used it to win the contest. Support him, and celebrate his fantastic signature yo-yo, by buying one for only $10.60, a special price here in the store, for the next few days. Period. ---

I think it’s perfectly fine to be excited about that. Gentry and Zach are super close on skill level. Gentry would need every ounce of skill he’s got. Registration closed the on the 9/22/15 while the interviews were probably filmed after prelims. (Correct me if I am wrong.
