quote taken from the YoYoFactory website’s main page > [@](#): > > The Supernova started life under the name SEVER3 but the name didn’t capture the essence of the yo-yo. ‘The SEVERE yo-yo development was going a direction and the SEVER3 is a step back from that direction to a more refined product. I want to keep pushing boundaries with the SEVERE and release more SEVERE yo-yos in the future so we decided to switch up the name” says Tyler Severance. So why Supernova? Ben McPhee fields that one “it hasn’t been since the Superstar was released that we have had a single model that has immediately captured the Teams attention and generated a straight up love. Vashek won Czech Nationals the week he got the yo-yo, other players who haven’t even tried it are requesting it to do player editions.” So why is it hot? “Players are getting hyped on it” Ben tells, “Tyler has been throwing it since before USA Nationals and we haven’t really pushed it to anyone we have just started getting requests and getting tons of feedback, all of it positive” > > SPECS: > material: 7071 Alloy > weight: 67.3gm > width: 44.2mm > diameter: 56.3mm > gap 4.8mm > origin: USA > pad: CBC slim > bearing: Large SPEC so who else is stoked about this? ---

Even if it is around or over 100 I’d probably buy it, from what I hear it’s gonna be the next superstar ---

It’s very similar to the Severe line-up but it’s not a Superstar. What’s happening is the team is receiving it as well as they did the Superstar (which was a big deal). I still kinda wish it was called Sever3… Last I talked to Tyler he said it would be around $100. ---

No, I went up to Tyler and I was like hey, is that a 2010 Severe, and he’s like no. So then I say what is it then, and then he’s like it’s a Severe 3. At that time it was. Then I asked him to try it, and he said yes, and it was absolute beast. Incredible. ---
