How so? They are a team with talented people. YYF does a lot for the community, and you can tell in a lot of their product videos they have fun. As for YYJ, they also do a lot for the community, and I dont think either of them are in just for the publicity at all, heck I dont think any yoyo company is.
to me, I see a hefty majority of the duncan crew NOT competing and just play yoyo for the fun of it, many of the YYF crew have some kind of world or national title, not saying that the duncan crew isn’t amazing but they just seem like less serious players to me.
as one of my friends put it, YYF&YYJ are one of the “grass is greener” type of sponsors. as with the case of jensen, and why he is now on CLYW again
