If you had to pick one yoyo brand that embodies what an American-made yoyo is, what brand would you pick? ---

General Yo. Only said that to make sure that there wasn’t a consensus :wink: I think for modern American yoyoing, One Drop may be my choice. ---

The question was to pick a yoyo company that most embodies American yo-yoing. I think YoyoJam does just that. There are, however, many reasons I pick YoyoJam. YoyoJam is a huge supporter of yoyo competitions and is a physical presence at most contests. They support teams and a legion of up-and-coming young players. YoyoJam also sells to a huge spectrum of the yoyo market and does so all over the world. That, among many reasons, makes YoyoJam the most symbolic American manufacturer; in my most-humble opinion.
