Japan Looping Solutions "Loop Up" yo-yo is made from the knowledge and expertise of competition 2A players.
From www.yoyorewind.com website:
"This yo-yo's construction, assembly and breakdown, and adjustment methods differ from standard looping yo-yos. This model was meant for intermediate to advanced players only.
Unlike full metal string trick yo-yos, which seem to get new releases every day, new looping yo-yo models are few and far between. Looping players are very particular about their yo-yos, and even get paranoid over the possibility that their favorite models may get discontinued. Such is the story of the Minokamo yo-yo club in Gifu Japan. So, the club combined forces with competition players to develop their own looping model. They started producing their first prototypes a month after launching the product, and now, almost a full two years later, they have refined the Loop Up to their satisfaction, enough for this "near-release" or Release Candidate 2 model.
Thanks to the unique design and construction that gives you both non-stepped gap adjustments and fixed gap widths, the Loop Up handles much differently from other looping yo-yos on the market. The set gap width does not change over time. After you dial in your ideal play and feel, you can continue to throw with confidence that the Loop Up acts like an extension of your body.
The non-stepped gap adjustments depend on the highly refined design, especially the starburst response area. With just a minute adjustment, you can achieve an unthinkable balance between sleep and response. Many top players have provided feedback during the development process, leading to endless revisions and tweaks that led to the current release candidate.
Since the mod scene first started, it has become apparent that getting the yo-yo set up so that it suits you best is the most effective step towards improving your game. So Japan Looping Solutions has worked to uproot the conventional ideas surrounding looping yo-yos, and bring to players an excellent looping yo-yo to help them grow and surpass their expectations.
• To adjust the gap of the yo-yo, an optional 6mm hexagonal wrench was available for purchase.
• To further protect your yo-yo from coming apart during play, you could purchase the optional disassembly-proof nut set."
Other optional yo-yo pieces that were available to purchase included a plastic spacer set, an extra Loop Up axle, and washers.
Uses a size E, ABEC 7-rated ball bearing axle.
