I recently downloaded the information about this yoyo…

    Back in May I started working on an ultra-wide 55mm x 55mm design, with a 55 gram weight, a mathematical obsession with a single number that would show up repeatedly in the yoyo.

    A little while ago I reached out to Jack to see if he’d like to try the Diffraction v2, which is a tuned-up version of my little yoyo project I started last year. He liked it, so we decided to work together. Get the Diffraction 2 on Yoyoexpert.

    Elliot hasn’t been throwing all that long but he’s already a monster. He’s worked so hard to get to the level he has and it really shows. Give him some love!
