News from the YoYoaFactory Blog – Gentry Stein has a new Protegé! We love to see up and coming new players supported like this! Looking forward to watching Luke’s name come up more in competition and online!
New Protegé Team Member: Luke Finnell:
Gentry Stein has picked up a new Protegé, Luke Finnell. Here are a few words from Gentry about Luke:
The first time Lukes yoyoing caught my attention was last year at the 2011 Pacific Northwest Regionals. At the time he was 13 years old and had been yoyoing for only a year. The amount of professionalism and control he had over the yoyo on stage amazed me. The best part is, it was his first ever competition. Since then, I have been watching him progress through his videos and he has improved so much in such a short amount of time. Luke is going to hit the contest scene hard this year, but I am confident he will continue to bring the heat, and become a top competitor in the near future. Making yoyoing look good is one of the most important aspects of it all. There’s no question Luke knows how to do that. I am stoked to announce Luke as my protege.

YoYoFactory has a tradition of innovation and refinement to bring that innovation to players at an affordable price. After huge success with the Dv888, Lunatic, and Hectic they wanted to push it farther and deliver a performer at a price that can’t be beat.
Enter the Protegé.
Simply put – the Protegé is built to PLAY. The Protegé has a completely unique feel amongst the other models in the fundaMETAL line and in our opinion the spin quality of an $80 model.
Protege is more than a Yo-Yo…
$1 from the sale of every protege yo-yo goes towards the development of a new Team at YoYoFactory, the PROTEGE team. Members of this team will be selected by Contest Team members and become that members ‘protege’ receiving support in training, advice, product, freestyle coaching and elements like trick composition. It is YoYoFactory’s way of training Contest Team players for the future.
