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.
Pictured here is a Yellow Skilltoys Edition Nationals 2005 Element X Playa. The title is too long for the normal museum format. These were sold exclusively at the National Yo-Yo Contest in Chico, California. Only 12 were made. Click on the logo side views to see both front and reverse logos.
