Shinwoo Hi-Power ZEN

look what i got from korea.


remember Zan-Navi?
remember Shinwoo Phantom?
what about Shinwoo Griffin Wings?
the Korean Yoyo Maker that brings to u the affordable yet high performance yoyo now has a metal.
the Shinwoo ZEN.
......pictures......







the ZEN feels pretty solid, its better than what i expected.
the shape didn't appeal to me when i first see it, but when i try it, it was rather good.
the pads that came with it are some kind of rubber pads that does not have adhesive to it, you can turn it over and use the other surface, its rather unresponsive unlike most rubber pads, unlike shinwoo's previous rubber pads used in the Phantom, grindability wise, to be honest it does not have that beadblasted coatings whatsoever that lets u grind forever, but it could be due to the surface Shinwoo done to it, u know that... i don't know what you call that, those line thingy... it helps a little for grinding.
when i first hold this yoyo today, i was like, "this feels heavy", but don't feel like it after a while, but i have to say it spins long, like, without much effort. it could be just me. weight rings included but i didn't use it when i tried the yoyo. hopefully videos soon.

apart from the sample yoyo, Shine also send me the new LED kit you saw in the previous post.
they fit most duncan yoyos, and probably most older capped plastic yoyos. they flashes in different colors instead of staying at one. look at the pictures and short clip.







the yoyo is available at YonJoy and the LED kit is available at both YonJoy and SPINGEAR!

New LED Kit

Check out this new LED kit at SPINGEAR Blog!
the LED flashes different colors, instead of staying at one, more pictures coming soon!


Cleveland Yo-Yo Club Robbed

everything copied and paste from YoYoSkills.com:



This makes me sick. Thievery is completely opposite of what yo-yoing is supposed to represent, and it takes a special kind of human being to rob a city club right before the holiday. By “special human” I really mean a soulless cylon monster so off the evolutionary scale they never grew a conscience, or a backbone.  It is terrible to do this anytime of year, but what [CENSORED] does this right before Christmas…
The Cleveland Yo-Yo Club got broken in to sometime last night, and they picked us clean. Looks like we lost about $1400 worth of yo-yo inventory and supplies.
If anyone has any information, or sees anyone in Cleveland or from Cleveland trying to move brand new Velocityes, Grind Machines, Protostars, or other new-in-box Yo-Yo Factory stuff, please let us know IMMEDIATELY.
-Steve Brown
I want to go one step furthur. I asked Steve for a Club Paypal address. I am not made of money but will donate what I can. YoYoSkills.com gets around 4000 unique visits a day, so if 1/4th of us give 1 dollar than we can help make up some of what the Cleveland Yo-Yo Club lost. I would not normally approach my readers in this way, and I don’t like asking for handouts especially this time of year, but the best thing about the yo-yo community is that we back each other up and the Cleveland Yo-Yo Club needs our help.  With your support, the Cleveland Yo-Yo Club can get back up and running after last nights robbery.
You can send donations to us via PayPal at unklesteve@gmail.com. Fast Donate button below. Please make sure they mark it as “CYYC DONATION”
The goal is to replace the lost yo-yo’s, and replace the glass door that was destroyed when the robbers broke in.  Any donation money above and beyond what the club needs to get back on the level will be used to purchase low-end yo-yos to give away in our outreach programs to local YMCA chapters.
I have asked Steve to keep YoYoskills.com in the loop so we know how the donations are coming.
You can use a debit or visa card to donate via paypal, no account needed.

And a private note to the thieves.  If you are reading this, and if you are yo-yoers then you might be, I want you to know that you are lower than low.  You are lower than the white crud that forms at the corners of your mouth when you are parched.  You are lower than the microbial waste that collects in eye mucus.  You should be ashamed of yourself.
I would love everyone to use the share button below and get this out there so we can help the Cleveland Yo-Yo Club recover.

YYF MVP pictures

just a closer look at the YYF MVP.

i love this, its as stable as, if not more than the YYF Superstar, but in a way, i've been throwing it since i got it, but in a way, i still prefer the Superstar. but this is very good, long spins(for sure), center-trac bearing, huge rims...
most people probabl won't like it cause of its shape?
the edgy rims and such... but really, its not as edgy as you think.
you'll more than likely like it.

Adegle Formosa & Sandglass

more Adegles!
you've seen the Adegle N23.5°
here's the Formosa and SandGlass!
some short blabber about the yoyos, not very good at proper review~

Formosa, another name for Taiwan.
this is probably the widest yoyo I've played, this one comes in a matte-ish beadblasted surface unlike the N23.5°i got which is shiny. 




here's the not very new yoyo, but latest design from Adegle, SandGlass!
the shape is similar to the Leviathan/StarDust.
not as wide as the Formosa, but has good stability and, pretty easy to grind, now i don't mean the surface although its also good, i mean the shape, it could be just me.




here's a side by side shot:
N23.5° | SandGlass | Formosa




since I'm not very good at proper review, i'ma come up with a video like what i did for the N23.5°!
hopefully up next week, sorry guys, i'll be away for the whole of next week, which means probably no updates for this week...

i'll do a video as soon as i'm back!

Adegle Yoyos are now Available @ SPINWORKX
Also see more/larger pictures of the Adegle yoyos here!

Yomerica Spindustry Panet 9


New yoyo from New maker.
the Planet 9 from Yomerica Spindustry.
came upon this at YoYoSkills before searching for it at YYN forum.

Genesis v2?

Genesis lover/users,
u may be happy or excited to hear this, but i've "read" a couple rumors regarding the YYF Genesis, so though i'll post about it.

forumers are saying YYF is making a slightly shallower sili-recess for a possible Genesis v2 or 2nd release if you would like to put it that way... but wait, isn't it already shallow? players are complaining about the falling off of the silicon in the Genesis.

not long ago, i read somewhere that YYF is preparing small bearing Genesis, 5A lovers!
and also, fine tweaking the original Genesis to fit ring size pads, yes, that means it will use the same pad size as your 888s! which i think would be so much better!

sorry, no links to the forum threads as it just struck me to post this, so yea, you read it here, so if u're considering getting the Genesis, know what u want, u prefer the wide pad size? or the ring size? thing is i'm not sure if the ring size is gonna be true, but seeing what YYF did with the G5 series, i'm thinking they would~
