Lubrication

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="461" caption="YoyoJam Lubes: Which lube fits which yo-yo?"][/caption]

So we've taught you how to wash your bearing, but then you realise that you'd prefer a yo-yo that's more responsive, and you don't like to bind your yo-yo.

A few of you may have purchased the YoyoJam lube already but have no idea how to use it. Spinworkx takes a look at how you should oil your bearing, and which oil suits which type of play.

Spinworkx Yoyo Review: Plastic Grind Machine *Video Inside!*

So we've touched on both the FAST 201 and Velocity already.

As previously mentioned, the FAST 201 is a basic yo-yo from YoyoFactory aimed at beginners seeking to learn basic tricks as well as test their skills in what is referred to as the FAST Challenge.

The Velocity, on the other hand, took the FAST system to a whole new level and offers players the ability to learn the basics right up to professional tricks using the same yo-yo.

The Plastic Grind Machine is YoyoFactory's flagship professional high-end plastic yo-yo. Aimed at professional play, the PGM for short, is probably one of the best high-end plastics to date, offering professional play with a price that's undeniably good!

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="312" caption="The Plastic Grind Machine, YoyoFactory's first high end plastic yo-yo"][/caption]

Today we take a look at the PGM, and see what makes it one of the best plastic yo-yos around to date.

Guess who's Storekeeper Linette's favourite yo-yo player!!!

[caption id="attachment_1099" align="aligncenter" width="307" caption="Can you tell?"][/caption]

It's not like it's hard to tell eh???? Who's YOUR favourite yo-yo player???

Spinworkx Yoyo Review: YoyoFactory Velocity

So we've talked about the FAST 201 and it's Fully Active Starburst Technology, a system invented by YoyoFactory that allows the starburst to interact with your yo-yo as you play, giving it a dynamic response that allows beginners to work with while learning the basics of the FAST challenge.

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="461" caption="The Velocity, a truly adjustable starbust system that's out of this world!"][/caption]

But what's next? Is that the end of the FAST line? Enter the Velocity, another yo-yo from YoyoFactory that comes with a different kind of FAST system, one that's aimed at the intermediate to advance level player, with a response system that's just as hardcore as it's baby brother, the FAST 201.
