It’s finally here on yoyoexpert for 60$ I think I gave yyf the idea of it but if not someone correct me they were gonna make a monster pivot but i think they should make a superwide pivot now

I asked them on instagram to make one and drew it for them then they said it needs to be more boxy.

My guess is that the original design for Evan’s signature yoyo was based on the super wide. YYF made a prototype but scraped it and sent it to yotricks which Jake won with and yotricks named it the atlas. Evan went with a different design the (original edge) and moved on from there. I’m guessing they revisited the idea and made the monster. From Evan’s recent unboxing I think YYF is working on a hybrid yoyo next. All of this is just a guess though I’m not really sure.
This video is why I think yotricks got Evan’s proto.

Technically YoYoFactory released the ‘SuperWide’ and ‘Monster’ first:

Monster was a more premium high end version of the wider yo-yo and definitely was one of the first of its kind.
Evan used it with an amazing performance in 2014 at US Nationals - proving that the ‘width’ really made a difference in allowing for some bigger tricks:
So EDGE is a combination - best of both Worlds - Edge meets MONSTER!

I commented on the mystery box video for 2018 that showed the Marcothinking that is was a “monster pivot” and I think it spread from there

Oh that is interesting. I also noted that Evan said his second choice from the YYF stable (after his signature Edge obviously) would be the Marco which is fairly wide (46mm).

Even with a Monster Edge and Superwide in my collection, the OG Monster looks super nice. Also this amazing video:
