It’s super light and cheap, but it rocks! Better than my Loop 900. ---

I found my Grandfather’s yoyo from the 1950’s when I was cleaning out his attic and it plays amazing. It loops better than any other looping yoyo I’ve ever played with. ---

Is it a fixed axle? Anyhow, it’s cool. New generations doesn’t always take over the golden oldies. 😃 ---

Better as opposed to what? I find a few old dollar store yoyos work fine for looping, though I prefer the more solid feel of something like a sunset. ---

My Fav looping yoyo is the Duncan Proyo. Usually can find it for around $5. I have a YYF 720 that I’ve never learned to love. ---
