What do you call a profesional yo-yoer?

Is there a specific name for people who yo-yo professionally?

Saying, “those guys that are really good, that I’m jealous of” is kind of a mouthful.

There is a difference between yoyoing professionally and being a good yoyoer. If they are with a company, they are considered professional or sponsored. If they are just good yoyoers, they are good players.

I say if you are a good yoyoer but not sponsored you are an expert

Actually, being a professional yoyoer would mean yoyoing is your profession. Your profession is what you get paid to do/how you make a living.

So… Unless you get paid, you’re not a professional.
