That is not a YYF Genesis
YoYoFactory is wrapped up some sort of photoshoot for a project they are working on. They brought in Ann Connelly for the shoot. One thing I noticed… The YoYo that Tyler is playing with, and the yo-yo that Ann is… uh, tasting… I don’t recognize it and it is to small to be a Genesis.
Any guesses? Could this be Ann’s new signature yo-yo?

Product Review - Loop 900 by Josh Yee
Thats right, I outsourced this review to the extremly talented Josh “Jayyo” Yee. I havent spent alot of time looping seriously in almost 10 years, but I am slowy working my way back using my pair of white Loop 900’s and Joe Harris’s instructional DVD. I wanted to get the Loop 900’s reviewed, but my 2a level of experiance is not at a level that I feel I can appropriatly provide feedback so I defered to Josh who is arguably, one of the best 2a players not currently sponsored by a company. In this case, I purchased an extra pair of Loop 900’s for Josh when they dropped at YoYoExpert. He played them for a week, and gave me a write up. I present YoYoSkills.com’s first associate reivew, the Loop 900’s by Josh Yee.

Steve Brown + Severe = sTevere
Only 50 made. I want one.
How the YoYoFactory Loop 900 works
There is some confusion to how the Loop 900 works. It does not move the spacer, it moved the axle nut which makes the gap thinner or wider.
What really matters is that YoYoFactory has delivered on one of the most genius axle systems I have ever seen. This is the culmination of adjustable gap. The Loop 900 is amazing. It is exactly what I have been looking for in a 2a yo-yo and is the tool I need to work on my 2a skills.
Thank you YoYoFactory
YoYoFactory Severe 2010
Reshaped, rethought, and re-WOW WOW WOW.
I had a chance to play the Severe 09 and liked it quite a bit, but this new Wider shape makes my eyes pop.

Is this the Hyper Yo-Yo Version of the Fast 201?
Saw this on YoYoNews.jp and the YoYoFatory Blog.
From what I can tell, It is called the Mercury,
I found another video that shows the new yo-yo at another angle. It looks like a clear body with translucent blue caps. Since it is the next step in the YoYoFactory line, the Fast 201 makes sense as the follow up to the Firedog.

UPDATE: It IS the Hyper Fast 201 - Well done Victor!
Product Review - YoYoFactory x Turning Point - Chaotic
YoYoFactory has been pumping out an incredible amount of new designs. One of those designs, the Lunatic, made its way into 3a World Champion Kentaro’s hands. A few tweaks here, a nip and tuck there, and a whole lot of rim weight later, YoYoFactory and Turning Point introduced the Chaotic. The root word of Chaotic is chaos, which is defined by lack of order or predictability. You have to wonder exactly what Turning Point and YoYoFactory were trying to say with the name. Seven days, one yo-yo, one review, and a mountain of bad puns. Here you will find my review, of the Chaotic.

Weight: 66.7gmProduct Review - YoYoFactory 888x
Back in 2007, something amazing happened. A few lucky (unlucky) GM2 owners that had weak walls were gifted with a prototype of the 888. Within 3 months the 888 sold 1000 units of special editions and the initial aqua run. Since then, the 888 has seen almost an uncountable amount of special releases and variations. The main line has seen a few minor changes over the years, and the new 2010 edition 888 is no different. Not only are there small changes from the 09 model, but the 888x marks a huge leap and change for the YoYoFactory Premium line. This 888 was made in China which brings up the big question on everyone’s mind; “Can a mass produced version of the 888 perform up to the legacy expectations of one of the must successful and beloved yoyos of all time?”

Hyper Yo-Yo Unveiled - Yomega, Duncan AND YoYoFactory!!!
This is HUGE news. We have all been speculating, hearing rumors and now we have some proof.
(above image from Singapore YoYoing Blog)
Also, if you go to Hyper Yo-Yo’s website, you get more.
So it looks like Yomega and YoYoFactory are the brands that Hyper Yo-Yo are working with. I don’t know what the Duncan models look like yet.
If there is anyone that can fluently read Japanese and feels like translating what these pictures say, it would be very appreciated.
