Winner is juliang22, with winning entry Abraham Lincoln used his tall hat to carry offstring yoyos so that at any time he could pull them out and entertain people.

Thanks to all who participated! juliang22, pm for your prize.

I should give the real credit to my History teacher. I was daydreaming in her class while she was teaching about events that caused the Civil War when i got the idea. :).

Chris Rhoads has reviewed the Aa7 for your viewing pleasure.

Here is a highlight:

Playability

It has been a while since I have played a small bearing yo-yo so I had forgotten the difference in feel. On the first throw I was amazed at the powerful spins the Aa7 provides. This thing is not messing around and feels like it could spin for days. The Aa7 is exceedingly stable during play even when I accidentally smacked it against my desk during a botched Ninja Vanish. It transitions easily from vertical to horizontal during a Gyro Flop with pin point control of the rotation. Now I will make no bones about it, this yo-yo is fast on the string with instantaneous direction changes when you want them. I can see the Aa7 being great at tech and competition play since those are styles that have the yo-yo bouncing around the string like a monkey on a Red Bull, a pace that the Aa7 feels quite comfortable at. Grinds are equally impressive thanks to that bead blast finish. Palm and finger grinds have an increased sense of control thanks to the powerful spin times; the same goes for thumb grinds. Just about the only grind I had a problem with was the sideways palm grind bind. The stickers reduce the spin quite a bit making that particular grind harder to pull off. I am betting if I removed the stickers it would work beautifully. Play wise this yo-yo is no joke. The performance is impressive especially when you consider that it is only a $60 yo-yo.
