The Museum of Yo-Yo History is a labor of love, and we would not be able to stay up-to-date with exhibits without the support of our sponsors and curators. Big thanks go to One Drop Design and Duncan for supplying us with their latest models, YoYoExpert for their help and support, and to Cody Orr, TotalArtist and YoYoBrothers™ for allowing us to use their collections!

The Looping AP World Champion, Shu Takada helped to craft YoYoFactory's Loop 720 yo-yo made especially for looping. The model in this exhibit is the gold-plated Unknown edition.
The Loop 720 is the same yo-yo released year-after-year by YoYoFactory but in different colors and sidecap designs. It's the vintage Volkswagon Beetle of the yo-yo world.
From the yoyorewind.com website:
"Tweaking looping yo-yos was a fine art for early players, and now they're taking that knowledge and doing the work for you, maxing out the limits of what the specs will allow. Looping yo-yos are particularly finicky, so it takes a practiced hand to make it awesome. With the help of world champion in the artistic performance (AP) division, Shu Takada had a hand in making this yo-yo the beast that it is. Thank to their designs, you barely need any maintenance to keep this top spinning forever.
A change in the design includes the switch to a starburst response area, and a metal spacer to lock the gap at the perfect looping width for beginners and professional players alike. We suggest a string length of around 70-75cm for maximum performance. K-String normal works best for us!
An affordable yo-yo, the Loop 720 makes it easy to pick up two for the rigors of two-handed looping!"
