Spinworkx Yoyo Review: Raider EX - "Ex" marks the spot

Mention the letters "RTR" to any hobbyist and the words "Ready To Run" come to mind.

"Ready To Run" is a term used to normally describe a hobby kit that is simply...ready to play out of the box, or at times, about 90% built and requires little assembling before it can be used.

When Yomega Raiders first became popular among Double A players, it took a lot of effort to set them up to achieve that "sweet spot" that made looping with them a breeze.

At around 2008, Yomega launched a new type of Raider, one that required little modification in order to be suitable for professional 2-handed yo-yo play.

We'll be open throughout the weekend!

We will be operating on the 8th and 9th of August as per normal so do come by the store and we'll be glad to entertain you!

Opening Hours:
Weekdays 1pm - 7.30pm
Sat 1pm - 9pm
Sun 1pm - 6pm

Spinworkx Yoyo Review: YoyoJam Lyn Fury - Five Years of Fury

Back in 2004, I was standing at the front entrance of the World Yo-Yo Contest in Florida waiting for Duncan Crew Singapore legend Hans when Glasseye, leader of the infamous DXL Crew, walked up to me and slipped something into my hand.

"Congratulations..." he said, "...welcome aboard"

Those were the words any kid would dream to hear! DXL? For REAL?!?!?! I was overjoyed, and glad to be part of a team that is made up of some of the best players in the world.

As the great leader turns and slowly walks away to meet up with the others in the crowd, I lifted my hand to see the yo-yo that he had given me.

"A Lyn Fury? Why...isn't this the full plastic version of the Hitman?" I thought to myself.

I gave the yo-yo a spin, and in an instant, my eyes lit up.

"OMG! THIS IS AMAZING!"

------------------------

Slap, Smack, and Zip back to the present. It's been 5 years since the Lyn Fury made its debut, and although most yo-yos which last in the market this long would be considered "Old and Outdated", this SGD$25 yo-yo was what Takeshi Matsuura used on stage during the 2008 World Yo-Yo Contest to win the Gold Medal for the 5A category.

Today, we look closer at the Lyn Fury, one of the best plastics in the market which fetches a price that rivals almost all high end plastic yo-yos in the market right now.
