Ever found yourself at a yo-yo contest cheering for what seems to be the best freestyle you’ve seen all day, only to realise that when the results were finally out, the poor guy on stage didn’t get the gold?

Ever wanted to know what separates one player from another at a contest?

Now before you cry “foul play!” and start questioning the contest, it is important to understand how the judging system works.

Through this article, Spinworkx will try to give you more insight as to how our judges score competitors at competitions. We hope that after this article, you too would have a better understanding on how we judge contests, as well as allow you to become a better competitor by educating yourself with the judging system.

So the June holidays are over, that doesn’t mean there’s no reason to celebrate!!!! Over the past few days, Spinworkx has received some of the most exciting new stocks that will definitely get your toes tingling!!!!!

Some of the hottest yo-yos have finally made it to our store!!!!!

We all now know that the high-end metal yo-yo industry is more saturated than ever. Gone are the days where we would see 1 metal bring released for every 3-4 plastic yo-yos made. Nowadays, the industry has changed, with more people having access to aluminum and machining tools becoming more affordable than plastic molds, metal yo-yos are popping up almost every other week, while plastics now take close to 1-2 months to make an appearance!

The 2009 edition Duncan Freehand 2

Obviously there are a lot of good things to say about the recent releases of metal yo-yos in the market, both in terms of quality, affordability, and performance…but that does not mean that plastics are in any way bad at all.

With companies like YoyoFactory pushing the limits of the plastic yo-yo with their “Death To Metal” campaign, and Duncan recently investing their R&D into the new Freehand 2 and other projects, which we hear is extremely promising, we take a step back, and took out a plastic from our stash, gave it to two of the best Single A players in Singapore, and see what they thought about it.
