A Chinese yo-yo manufacturer called HengSheng creates the 91yoyo brand in China. This undersized model of yo-yo -- whose name is unknown -- was released at 91yoyo's "EX-5" promotion in 2011. The H-shaped profile of the yo-yo was very trendy at the time including the notion that a heavier yo-yo overall meant better spin times. EX-5 is legendary in China to Chinese yo-yo players. The 91yoyo team was led and supervised by Takuto Hakusui supervised, so the yo-yo specs met competition standards at the time. The yo-yo in this exhibit is consider a B-grade.
