I though YYF was making this yoyo? I heard Kentaro talking about it at ECC. Anyone know whatever happened to that?

So is the Leviathan a different yoyo?


http://www.yoyonation.com/talk/index.php/topic,37475.0.html

imo, they don't look too different visually other than their nipple.


leviathans are a different shape and arent as wide

I love how turning points are a bit wider then your average yoyo....spin time is insane
but as much to my knowledge kentaro is producing these himself not yyf

as for speculation as to how they perform.... turning point was used

Congrats Kentaro!

This is an awesome yo-yo, I got to try it at a meet in NYC earlier this year, I think it was a proto,

Kentaro designed these himself and I believe he said he's getting them machined somewhere in Japan- I don't think these have anything to do with YYF.

It's a crazy shape but you would not believe how rock-solid and true these things spin.

I hope to see more from "Kentaro's workshop" in the future!

The turning point is a 100% kentaro project. There is no yoyofactory involvement other than we wish him luck with it! Kentaro plays single a with his own yoyos but represents yoyofactory in aaa and aa.

As of this morning they were sold out. But it seems like they added a 2nd wave of Turning Points. Though, it might have been my imagination, I did just come down with a fever...

Stopped throwin since about september of '09. This is due to lack of yoyos as I lost ALL of these:

If anyone can tell me if anything happened that I should know about since then, please pm me.

They look intriguing, but unless the inner wall design helps in any way with tethers and rejections I can't see how it is necessary. That would be a yoyo I'd surely buy if I weren't waiting on the flea and bvsm
