In the competitive realm of the yoyo market, this yoyo meets a common $100.00 price point, but can it stack up to other popular models that specialize in 1A play?

I’m a big fan of plastic yo-yos. In my opinion, plastic yo-yos can be just as good as metal ones. When I heard about C3yoyodesign’s first plastic my interest was piqued. A quick e-mail to the folks at C3yoyodesign and a couple of weeks later, the Alpha [...]]]> http://www.yoyoskills.com/?feed=rss2&p=12639 8 http://www.yoyoskills.com/?p=12623 http://www.yoyoskills.com/?p=12623#comments Wed, 19 Dec 2012 01:16:20 +0000 Dr. Yo-Yo http://www.yoyoskills.com/?p=12623   This review session, we are going to try something different.  For a while now, I thought it would be interesting to do two reviews of the same yo-yo from two different reviewers.  I am excited that the first yo-yo to undergo this treatment is the Victory by Eternal Throw.

(life happens).  On a positive note, we have more reviewers on staff here at YoYoSkills so you have N-Mart, Melford, Mr. J, and Francis to fill in when I get slammed with life, work, and lifework.

Use your head: cut off theirs. Get up the staircase, then destroy it. Get out of the car, get onto the bike. Keep moving, keep low, keep quiet, keep alert! No place is safe, only safer. The zombie may be gone, but [...]]]> http://www.yoyoskills.com/?feed=rss2&p=12151 0 http://www.yoyoskills.com/?p=12148 http://www.yoyoskills.com/?p=12148#comments Mon, 29 Oct 2012 04:58:32 +0000 Dr. Yo-Yo http://www.yoyoskills.com/?p=12148 A few years ago there was a brand called Cold Metal.  I always thought their yo-yos had a really cool look and style to them.  I got to try them here and there but never had a chance to own one or do a review.  Then the company seemed to disappear for a while until [...]]]> http://www.yoyoskills.com/?feed=rss2&p=12148 4
