The Looping AP World Champion, Shu Takada helped to craft YoYoFactory's Loop 720 yo-yo made especially for looping. The model in this exhibit is the Evan Nagao special edition. Evan is a long-time yo-yo professional and a multi-year 1A National Champion in the USA. Came with the YoYoFactory "Classic" tricks and secrets poster.
The Loop 720 is the same yo-yo released year-after-year by YoYoFactory but in different colors and sidecap designs. It's the Volkswagon Beetle of the yo-yo world.
From the yoyorewind.com website: "Tweaking looping yo-yos was a fine art for early players, and now they're taking that knowledge and doing the work for you, maxing out the limits of what the specs will allow. Looping yo-yos are particularly finicky, so it takes a practiced hand to make it awesome. With the help of world champion in the artistic performance (AP) division, Shu Takada had a hand in making this yo-yo the beast that it is. Thank to their designs, you barely need any maintenance to keep this top spinning forever.
A change in the design includes the switch to a starburst response area, and a metal spacer to lock the gap at the perfect looping width for beginners and professional players alike. We suggest a string length of around 70-75cm for maximum performance. K-String normal works best for us!
An affordable throw, the Loop 720 makes it easy to pick up two for the rigors of two-handed looping!"
