Something by YoYoAddict's sophmore release of the "Lp" intended for 2A (looping) play. Like most 2A-type yo-yos, this model uses original response by way of a starburst that is molded into the body halves. What is great about this yo-yo is its superb balance for out-of-the-box play; no special gap adjustment, bearing lubrication, or pad maintenance is necessary. Uses a size K bearing. Each Lp is assembled by hand and then supposedly tested by World 1A Champion Hiroyuki Suzuki before they are shipped to stores.

The critical spacers on this model are made from DuPont Delrin--also known as polyoxymethylene or POM. This high-performance resin helped Something create spacers that have low friction and excellent wear resistance. This functionality ensures better and more consistent yo-yo performance over the use of traditional plastic and metal spacers.

Original retail price: $28 US.
