Orange body with translucent yellow caps imprinted with black.

This special Loop 720 edition with orange body, translucent yellow (what YoYoFactory called "yellow edgeglow) caps with black imprint was initially exclusive to those who were members of YoYoFactory's Loop 2020 membership program. However, later on, this edition was made available to anyone through their regular web store.

At the time, this was the signature looping yo-yo of 2A World Champion Shu Takada of Japan.

Used a size K ball bearing axle and, optionally, three different metal spacer sets, depending on your personal preference:

-Red spacers were designed to give a stronger looping response. These are the same spacers that came stock on the Loop 720 Japan version (and seen in this exhibit).

-Green spacers were designed to make the string gap wider which, in turn, gave a weaker response (longer sleep times), making classic string tricks like Elevator, Rock the Baby, and Brain Twister easier. These are the same spacers that come stock on the Loop 720 USA version. A great spacer for teaching and for those new to yo-yoing.

-Light Blue spacers were designed to give a happy medium between looping response and long sleepers.

All three spacer sets were sold separately.
