Yeah I’m not sure if Tom and/or Hans is running the Playmaxx insta and eBay now, but they bought Playmaxx from Don Duncan Jr. and owned it up until they sold to Duncan. That’s when Hans and Ben started YYF. I don’t know, or never heard, if Ben worked for Playmaxx. ---

Duncraft became Playmaxx and as far as I know was owned by Don until he sold to Duncan. I could be wrong. I don’t know who Kilee & Chloe are, however they appear to run the current Playmaxx Ebay/Insta store. Ben did work for Playmaxx and was on the pro team. He had a Vid-E-Yo edition TBB. ---

Yeah, Duncraft, then Duracraft and then finally Playmaxx. Didn’t know that about Ben. But I do know that Tom and Hans owned Playmaxx at a one point, before they were sold to Duncan. Or maybe they were part owners with Don Jr. Hans did an interview about it a while back. But I met Tom years ago and he was known as the owner of Playmaxx. ---

I wasn’t sure and had nothing to go on. However, I did suspect that Tom was an owner or investor. So, this confirms that they indeed were. I just assumed that if they had owned Playmaxx, Duncan would have requested a non-compete when they purchased Playmaxx, even if only temporary. Hans and Ben started YYF soon after. My understanding from Ben’s comments are that Hans is the majority holder of YYF. Funny thing is, there are people on this forum that were involved in YoYo professionally in the late 90’s that know the details. I doubt they will comment. Entertaining discussion for me though. 🙂 ---

Not sure if this is the appropriate thread for the discussion, but regarding the cork pad uncertainties, the past proven (I’m pretty sure) way to check for ungodliness is the “float test”. ---
