Product Review - The Torino by ILYY
Introduction:
For a company initially created by two guys in a garage seeking to create a throw both players could enjoy, ILOVEYOYO has certainly grown up. Frank and Dominik have done a terrific job taking a small co-op project and turning it into an international staple of premium quality yo-yos. One of the latest new designs that ILOVEYOYO has released is the Torino, an updated adaptation of the Wasabi. Over the last few years, the Wasabi has generated mixed feedback. At only 60 grams, it was a bit lighter than comparably popular models which acted as an interest barrier to many players. Listening from the customer base, ILOVEYOYO revisited the Wasabi design and moved around the specs for the Wasabi 09 edition. ILYY was not done, and changed up the new design again to produce an entire new release tuned for Dominik’s preferred play style. The Torino was born.

Product Review - The FURY by ILYY
The Fury. The name alone forms beads of sweat on the brows of the weak. You want to deliberately emphasize the “u” and “r” with a growl. The name and the deep blood red color brings out the animal instinct. Just look at it. It makes you want to wrestle a velociraptor and eat a wolfs heart. Scale the tallest mountain and throw punches at the troposphere. Take on a swarm of sharks for a winner take all death BONANZA… No, not really. It is just a cool looking yo-yo with a catchy name. This is the third of four yo-yos that ILOVEYOYO sent to me for review, and probably the one I was most excited to get to. This week was a doozy for me. Outside of my yoyo life, my car decided to die and the warranty company that was supposed to offer hassle free coverage is, unsurprisingly, a huge hassle. Fury was exactly what I was feeling. Before you ask…. The tea set. Sometimes, you need balance in life. Tea is very calming, and if this yo-yo is as furious and filled with rage as the name implies, I may need a cup to keep my self from exploding… ALL OVER THE VELOCIRAPTOR I AM WRESTLING.
*sips cup of tea*
ahhh, there we go

Product Review - The ILYY Void
Introduction:
Budget metal lines are a very popular thing in the yo-yo industry. One Drop kicked up the craze with the M1 over a year ago. YoYoFactory has a line dedicated to low price metals. HSpin has the Core series. Even Caribou Lodge has the Campfire. ILYY has MANY new designs but found one that they could introduce at the budget price, thereby filling the “Void” in ILYY line…… seewhatididthar?
The ILYY Void came to me in a bulk shipment of review units from ILYY, and this week, I got to spend some quality time with ILYY’s new budget yo-yo.
Product Review - ILYY Saint Eel
You have to hand it to ILYY. The Germany based yo-yo makers, considering the size of operation, have been putting out an impressive line of new yo-yo designs lately with a multitude of shapes and designs. I actually have four (including this one) of the new ILYY’s set up to review over the next month. When I got the packages, I knew that I had the review the Saint Eel first. Smaller than the One Drop Dingo and made of steel, the Saint Eel looks like a lot of fun. Over the last year, the ILYY Saint Eel has gone through several prototypes. Last March, ILYY finalized the Saint Eel design and released the under-under sized steal yo-yo. After a fun week of under under sized yo-yoing, this review practically wrote it self.

If you know anything about ILOVEYOYO it is to expect incredibly quality and for those not yet familiar with the brand this is the best introduction you can get for the price.
ILYY Void - Coming in May
Up until now, we made premium priced yoyos with premium quality. But now we thought, why not make a premium yoyo for a less premium price? Said and done. The Void was born. Simple shape, a new horn (hello matador) and superb playability. To make things even better, we put our legendary Candy Blast coating on top. Price not affected! We want only the best just like you!

ILYY Torino Pre-Pro
This is ILYY’s replacement for the Wasabi. Must be killer to replace such a great yo-yo.
-From the ILYY Blog
In 2008, we designed a yoyo that suited crackout’s style perfectly – the Wasabi. 2009 brought an update, heavier and more powerful. In January 2010, we thought about a third run, but then scrapped the draft. crackout wanted even more rimweight and stability but the shape just reached its limits. So we designed a whole new yoyo, bigger, stronger, better but with the soul of its father.
So here it is, crackout’s new ’signature’ yoyo – the Torino.
Expected to hit stores in May.

Width: 42.90mm

Product Review - ILYY Enigma
Introduction:
What is more than five, but less than four and rhymes with Pancakes? If you don’t know, don’t feel bad, the answer does not make sense on the surface of it. I am sure that someone, somewhere will immediately know one of the possible answers is “Hawk”. That is the strange thing about enigmas, they don’t need to make sense, and probably won’t make sense to most people, but you will still spend all night trying to figure out the hows and whys Hawk rhymes with Pancakes and is more than five yet less than four. Even though I know the answer, I am sure Quantum Swedish Fish are involved. ILoveYoYo, known for their unearthly quality in yo-yos, has poised its own Enigma for you. In this case, it is not so much of the wordplay of a puzzle or riddle, but instead is a uniquely shaped yo-yo that pretty much appeared out of nowhere. My review this week, is the very mysterious and not much talked about ILYY Enigma.
ILYY Rocket at YoYoExpert!
I am pretty sure that YoYoExpert is the first to drop the newly redesigned ILYY Rocket here in the states. I reviewed the ILYY Rocket a while ago (A prototype) and lived it. Don’t Forget the awesome YYE Collectors Cards you will get with this if you get it from YoYoExpert.com $129.99.
