With a pause in production YoYoFactory took the opportunity to get back in the designing process working on smaller production and some BIG concepts like this Horizon 2 prototype!
First released at PNWR; The HORIZON “prototype” needs a little more polish before it’s official release, but it plays so well YoyoFactory wanted to give players a chance to try one out! The Horizon 2 features a 2 piece design with a press fit fingerspin cup that gives it a great look and makes fingerspins a breeze. It plays fast and stable with a lighter feel on the string than the original, a must have for all you Horizon fans!
Please Note: These prototypes do have a small amount of vibe, but nothing that impedes performance. If you are picky about vibe then this is not for you, if a little vibe doesn’t bother you then you’re in for a treat!
I think the design just needs a little fine tuning before a full production run. They play so good, but some had an unpassable level of vibe. They’re great though if you can look past a little vibe for this prototype run, I’ve been throwing one all week and can’t put it down! (And I was never really a fan of the OG Horizon.)
The cup is similar to Czech Point Pivot - but I think they have continued to perfect things - it really ‘sticks’ nicely and pulls the finger in to the center. The yoyo is really impressive!
