Monkeyfinger Design is back with their latest release; MFD team member Tyler Jorgensen’s signature throw the Prime8. Tyler has been with the yo-yo community for quite some time, working with Mike Montgomery on Yo-Yo Course and then branching out into his own site with The Yo-yo Show. I have said it before, when a signature throw is done properly (meaning when the company works hand in hand with the player to create it) you get to truly know that player and his style, quite a bit more than if you simply watch their videos. I will admit, I have heard of Tyler and I have seen a couple of his videos but I am not as familiar with his work as I am with other players. That is by no means a knock against Mr. Jorgensen, there are so many phenomenal players in the community that it would be a monumental undertaking to familiarize yourself with all their work. That being said, I always look forward to trying a new signature throw so that I can see how others approach this hobby that I love so much.

Thank you for your insights on the 7075 version. I need to try one out some time. I absolutely love the 6061 version that I reviewed. It will be interesting to see what Monkeyfinger comes up with to try and top this.
