When the ProYo was first released by Trag-E Toys in 1983, it was touted as a great string trick yo-yo because of its rim weighting and long spin times--for a fixed wooden axle yo-yo. Today, many consider it a looping yo-yo only. Either style of play, the ProYo is well-balanced and a great all-around yo-yo that has become a classic like the famous Duncan Tournament model of years past.
