Northern Spin, based out of Canada, is one of those boutique companies that do not get a great deal of exposure. It is a shame because their previous two yo-yos were excellent performers. I have been covering the company for quite some time, ever since our accidental introduction. We met through Big Brother YoYos when I picked up a prototype from Doug that just so happened to be one of Manny’s designs. Manny and I started talking about future products… one thing lead to another and we lost touch when all of a sudden Northern Spin pops up at the debut of the new Canadian Nationals contest a few years later. Now Northern Spin Co. is back with their third release, the Quantum. Each release from Northern Spin has some unique feature to it. The Aurora was made from titanium, the Helix was an aluminum and steel hybrid, and now we have the Quantum with its own feature set to set it apart from the pack. Lets see how Northern spin fairs using just aluminum in their latest design.
