“Professional” is a term not very many yoyo players get to use about themselves. Professional implies that they make pretty much their entire living off yoyos. Just because it says “professional” under their name doesn’t mean they are one, ;).
Sponsored does not equal professional, is what I’m trying to get at. Anywhere else these guys would be considered amateurs(simply due to the amount of money involved, in MANY cases, zero $).
Higby family, pro yoyo players/perfomers. Steve Brown with Duncan, professional yoyo player. Miggy, Tyler, Pat, pros.

Well if were considering the whole making a living. I haven’t made much money, but I do have a near case of yoyos that I traded strings for. So I made a hobby, or part of my life from my company that is yo-yo related.
