Review | Superfly by sOMEThING (YoYoAddict)
There is something about Mickey that exudes confidence. It goes beyond his stage presence or fashion. It exceeds his monumental skill set and his passion for yoyoing. Hiroyuki Suzuki is just flat out smart. He knows how to deal with the pressures of championship and has a great grasp on what it means to stand out and be a representative. Recently Mickey left YoYoJam to pursue his own store, YoYoAddict, and a new line of yoyos called sOMEThING. The name sOMEThING really threw me off. I did not get it. It took until multiple writings of the word sOMEThING and paying attention to the capitalizations when it dawned on me that only the S and the H were not capitalized. S, H… H, S… Hiroyuki Suzuki. This has to be intentional. Like I said, Mickey is smart.
sOMEThING’s flagship yo-yo is the Superfly. Mickey got in contact with me a few months ago and sent me the Superfly and the Angle. The buzz around these yo-yos have been incredible. I could not wait to dive in.

The other ones had language.
Kevin is one of the young talents I am MOST EXCITED to see perform throughout the year
JD Signature Yo-Yo – The YoYoJam Trigger
Quote from YoYoBestBuy
JD and YoYojam have been hard at work to bring a full size plastic yoyo at an affordable price that could do one thing and one thing very well… PLAY THE BEST for the price. Today we approved the prototypes and this is going to knock your socks off… still a little ways away from production but truly worth the wait… here is a sneak peak… but don’t drool on your keyboard.
Low Price Entry? Check!
JD’s Expertise? Check!
Full Size Plastic? Check!
Tell me one thing while you cynically look at this photo. Does this, or does this not look remarkable for 5a.

How to propose to a YoYoer… Auldey style
I saw this on YoYoThailand’s facebook today. I think this was a first place prize at a contest, but other than that I don’t know anything except the picture above.

Review | 2WEI by ILYY
Years ago ILYY released their first yo-yo, the E1NS. The yo-yo was ahead of its time in engineering and attention to detail, and brought many yo-yoers into the ILYY fan camp. Over the years, the E1NS has seen a few tweaks here and there, but nothing major. This last winter, ILYY released the 2WEI, the follow up to the E1NS. The 2WEI takes the best of all the E1NS releases and tweaks it further.

ILYY x 3YO3
ILOVEYOYO and 3YO3 are collaborating on an acrylic version of an ILOVEYOYO yo-yo. Here is the first prototype.
Have a look at the first acryllic prototype of our 3YO3 collaboration. It’s a Falcon. A mighty beauty. We’re still looking for the best suited model of our line up for this material. Exciting!
