String Theory YoYos Lotus and Orion

Tuesday, January 31st, 2012

String Theory YoYos

String Theory is a United States yo-yo company that blends top tier performance with original style. All of their yo-yos are made from the latest competition grade materials and are manufactured with the utmost attention to detail.

And here they are with two awesome new releases!

Orion YoYoExpert

The Orion is String Theory’s first yo-yo created to be a pure competition throw. It’s shape is based on the impressive legacy of the Remnant 2 and String Theory’s first yo-yo, the Remnant. Like these popular and successful yo-yos, Orion features a unique profile that maximizes the gap while still allowing the yo-yo to feel compact and comfortable in your your hand.

YoYoExpert String Theory Lotus

The Lotus showcases a new shape from string theory, with a wide catch zone and great balance. The Lotus is a slightly oversized yo-yo, well shaped for fast, powerful play, and comes with a Terrapin polymer treated ball bearing that ensures both extraordinary durability and extraordinary spin times.

Both yo-yos are available in a bead blasted finish for grinding and a tumbled finish for shine. Like all of String Theory’s yo-yos, the Lotus and Orion are made in the USA!


ORION AVAILABLE HERE!

LOTUS AVAILABLE HERE!

Review | The MVP by YoYoFactory:

This is overdue. A year ago, I picked up a new in package MVP in a trade. I have been enjoying it off and on and have wanted to fit it into my review schedule when a gap came up. Well I don’t get gaps often. This week, I was supposed to review the TMBR [...]
