Aoda Sunshine Review

Sunshine
By Aoda

Sunshine, sunshine...With such a beautiful name surely it has to be something good. Unfortunately coming from the infamous Aoda, I expect things to be cloudy, with a slight chance of raining scatballs. Yep, Aoda is the brand that most would love to hate. Yet there is a 9.12% of the yo-yo population who consider Aoda a godsend, a brand that gives the yo-yos they want at bargain prices. So just to be fair, I'll stay on the fence for this interview. So let me slip on my bermudas and sip up a lil lemonade as I try to enjoy the sunburn.

More after the Break!

Auldey Photon Spirit Review




Photon Spirit

by Auldey Yo-yos

Auldey has a very turbulent relationship with the international yo-yo community in general. Having made a reputation for selling cheap knock-offs of popular yo-yos that hate seems wholely justified. But suddenly as recent as 2008 Auldey began to develop their own original designs and after having brought in Chinese National Yo-yo champion and talented yo-yo designer “Takuto” Luo YiCheng, Auldey began churning out designs that anyone would drool on. One such offering is the Photon Spirit, a yo-yo that had been envisioned by other yo-yo makers but never successful in execution. Will Auldey finally shed it's bad reputation and prove it's worth to stand amongst the giants of the yo-yoing world?
