YoYo Factory Protostar Red YoYoFactory is a yo-yo first released In 2009

Description

The Protostar by
YoYoFactory
is a yo-yo first released in 2009. It is the signature series model of
John Ando
.
To challenge the common belief that metal yo-yos are superior in a competitive setting, YoYoFactory started the "Death to Metal" series, a line of high-performance plastic yo-yos that could match or even surpass metal yo-yos in competitions, as well as costing less. The Protostar, the first of these plastic yo-yos, was developed by YoYoFactory in collaboration with 2008 World 1A Yo-Yo Champion
John Ando
.
The Protostar made its debut at midnight in the 2009
World Yo-Yo Contest
, where the first prototypes of the yo-yo were showcased and sold. Its low-edged Step Straight design reduced sleep loss to a minimum, and its inset aluminum weight rings along with a Center Trac bearing made it very stable, more-so than even its full-metal competitors at the time of its release. That night at Worlds, the Protostar made an impact in the yo-yo community, and it has been released in many colorways since then. The Japan Collection version of the Protostar, released in March 2015, featured a rounded side on its weight rings.
This listing is for 1 yo-yo only and one spare side.
I am slimming down my collection of
yo-yo's
(About 900) Will be listing many more in the next few weeks.
I would rather die than give you control.
