The evolution of the Element X continued with the release of versions with recessed SPR axle systems. That is the halves were machined so that the response surfaces for the SPR system were flush with the yo-yo halves.
The Playa featured a recessed large bearing SPR axle system. Like most of the Element X line, colors varied widely. Very many combinations of body color, weight ring color, and logo color.
Pictured here is a Marbled Brown Playa, from the first release with standard production side caps. Notice that BuzzOn used some old gold weight rings, engraved over a year before for the Bay Area Classic.
