I know many of you may not be fond of YYF but you have to tell me this looks AMAZING. It looks like they basically took the old design and widened it to allow them to take the mid/high wall off while maintaining the shape making it more competition ready.
I like the original with the higher wall quite a lot, and while the new one looks amazing, I’m sure it won’t play quite like the original. Even if it doesn’t, it still looks to be a good yoyo.
I gotta agree with a couple other folks here…this is REALLY wide. Like, too wide. Seriously, this is the widest throw I have ever seen (it used to be the SUMMIT). I think the width of the ProtoStar kind of pushes it (like 43mm), especially for tech.
I do really enjoy the SPYY Revenger, which is even wider at 48mm; however, they designed it with “yeah, this is a wide yoyo” in mind, rather than creeping up the width factor under the guise of falling into the “standard” range.
I wouldn’t ever totally rule out a yoyo for being wide (even the Superwide was fun!) but it definitely gives me pause.
