Yiyang Wang, known as Philip, recounts his journey with yoyofriends since being sponsored in 2018. He reflects on his childhood dream of having a yo-yo team, inspired by TV series like Blazing Teens.

Throughout his journey, he learns about yo-yo design and trends, eventually leading to the creation of his signature yo-yo, the [Overclock](https://shop.yoyoexpert.com/collections/new-releases/products/overclock).

In 2018, Philip brainstormed yoyo ideas with a friend, resulting in the Peregrine and the concept of L-shaped rings. Over the years, he gathers inspiration from yo-yos like the Vulture and Tachyon, refining his vision for the [Overclock](https://shop.yoyoexpert.com/collections/new-releases/products/overclock). In 2023, he revisits the idea of inner ring yo-yos, ultimately creating the [Overclock](https://shop.yoyoexpert.com/collections/new-releases/products/overclock) prototype using 7068 aluminum and stainless steel.

[![Overclock-Red](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/f/7/8/f7860abefff936185e99b4b0890d9f97daca7472.webp)](https://shop.yoyoexpert.com/collections/new-releases/products/overclock)

Despite initial challenges with weight and response, Philip fine-tunes the prototype with input from the yoyofriends team, including Tony and Yahoo. Adjustments are made to improve playability and accommodate modern competition tricks, leading to the final design with a widened gap.

The yo-yo is aptly named [Overclock](https://shop.yoyoexpert.com/collections/new-releases/products/overclock), reflecting Philip’s passion for pushing hardware limits. Its logo is inspired by MSI Afterburner, a program he uses in his hobby of overclocking computers.

I hope you guys like it! This along with Peregrine are the two designs me and my friend thought of back in 2018. Seeing it finally perfected makes me very happy.

> Blehhhh Imma be annoying but it’s “Philip” with one L not two like in the title. Gonna @YoYoExpertEric bc I would be sad if my name was spelled incorrectly.

YYE just ‘Accidentally’Overclocked’ his name.

His designs are turning out sooooo good, his name has been ‘upgraded’ just like his yo-yos.

Philip is not his name anyways……

That is just his ‘Stage name’.

His real name is Reginald ‘P’ Honeycutt Jr.
