one of the best yoyo videos ive seen. the editing is perfect, two of the greatest players in the world playing awesome carefree freestyle. the music also fits perfectly, the scenery is also beautiful. i love it

[@Zhixuanczx]

watched this video when i was a beginner.seeing 2 unfamiliar Yoyo players executing so awesome moves.wow,really amazing that i now know the 2 players and watching it all over again.

[@ragacs7562]

1:04 He kind of looks like HaHa from Running Man. Nice skills.

[@sbbassy]

Paul Han reminds me so much of eric koston. He's been around so long that hes got the old school tricks on lock but can still do new school tricks and make em look bettter than most guys.

[@KFMStudios]

I have a Protostar, and I have 2 say it's the best yo-yo EVER!!!! The shape of it fits nicely in ur hand and throws smoothly. The metal rim weights keeps it balanced and enhances it's durability. Worth every penny. Everyone should have 1.

[@SmedtheSDOTakayoyo]

This video NEVER gets old

[@Crossstrings2]

Best yoyo video EVAR

[@revstic]

this is the best from yoyofactory , this yoyo have surpassed my boss , my northstar , this yoyo is wonderful , ive never seen a plastic yoyo better than this one , yoyofactory ... i salute you , you still producing protostar until today , this yoyo never gets old :)

[@SkinnyGibby]

i love yoyofactory's music. im getting a protostar!!! yay!!! paul han should definitely get his own yoyo, his tricks are so SMOOTH. but the yoyo's hes using are really good, he couldnt really do anything to improve them, lol

[@harmoniedot]

@parkbobo ...Mr. Bear - "BIG DIGGER1... He's a massive yoyo fan from UK living in Florida. Theres a link to his artist page under the blurb...hope this helps

[@thebrandonvu]

@aznboi1970 increase the power of your throw thats the best way

[@eusou0]

this must be so common in japan that almost no one was staring haha

[@JeremyWint]

two god tier legends in the game

[@thebrandonvu]

fail Paul han wearing a superstar shirt advertising the protostar

[@connormcdonald3416]

Protostar is the best yoyo I've ever thrown. Honestly.

[@user-yd3dx3vh2u]

damn I remember when this video dropped. such a classic

[@wane999]

yeaa

[@Igknighton]

Im glad this isn't full of basic tricks like the other product videos. Great job

[@yoyogirl131]

how does the northstar compare to the protostar??

[@RigoDiscua]

Where are these guys when my headphones get tangled.

[@FernandoRamirez-fq8jg]

Protostar is the best plastic yoyo I've ever had I have the gravitsky edition :D

[@JerricoLopez]

Can you tell me if the Protostar is coming out with any new colors? If not I have a suggestion, Black, Clear, and Translucent Orange.

[@xxkylessixx]

John Ando is BEAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@arkitekyym]

Loved the music, loved the scenery, and most of all, loved the tricks.

[@GreatBigPillock]

@Sector195 Euro-Yo. Not only does it deal in pounds & euros, but they've got a massive range of yoyos. Just Google it - it shouldn't be too hard to find.

[@Diebound]

Paul Han is my inspiration dude.

[@Derrenyo14]

this was the veryfirst yoyofactory video i watched

[@jewmangi]

i just started using a yo yo cause it was a gift, i was given a auto return yomega and i got use to it pretty quick i am actually annoyed that it wakes up so easily and what not what should i move on to? would a yomega raider be good?

[@SkinnyGibby]

@TheKxrida its unresponsive, yes you need to use a bind, along with grind machine and northstar

[@dahlei]

@PUR3VENOM It's Miggy's signature though. Paul Han has a signature ROCKstar.

[@revstic]

@YoDylan98 i dont know , but i think its paul han's own trick , it is cool , paul is great , thumbs up for him

[@justin3522]

YES i got mine thanks yoyofactory. Love the protostar

[@here2there4life]

soooo how do all these people do crazy tricks with the yoyo, are they using it stock are did they put a crazy ass bearing in it

[@Tlarsen289]

does it play like this straight out of the box?

[@TheNoonar100]

Jensen is 2010 Champion of 1A, John Ando is 2010 Champion of the AP division.

[@RaisinBran777]

@Keviii291 north is alittle heavier for slower play. proto is for a bit fasterplay

[@retardedmau5]

It's the AP division in 2010 WYYC where John Ando and Team SHAQLER took the world title.

[@2sean123]

Japan looks like a pretty cool place.

[@aznboi1970]

@yoyofactoryvideo Could you tell what should i use to try to make my protostar spin as long as this?

[@spin4ever888x]

John Ando is awesome

[@pumpkinpot672]

DM2 or the Protostar? which do you prefer both with its stock bearings? im stuck between buying these two and i cannot buy both atm...

[@colspaimmaca]

@xXYoWazUpXx Usually when its says World Champion, we assume that he himself won the title... thanks for reminding me about the AP division though

[@TheKxrida]

is this yoyo responsive or do u have to bind to get it back up?

[@bluebanana226]

i want the protostar but i want the duncan freehand for 5a. which should I get??

[@CAIDMASTEROFPYRO]

ordered it a month ago got it yesterday love it sleeps for ages and plays great

[@yhndsu7436]

Hi

[@eternaa]

Plzz Reply When u Buy Yoyos in Prioty Mail Will it Come imn 2 - 3 Days? or will it come in 1 - 4 weeks? its because i read sum stuff and it said.

[@TheKxrida]

@SkinnyGibby Thanks do you think i should get an unresponsive yoyo i am looking for a new one like a grind machine protostar, or dv888. I am not that good and right now i have a duncan metal drifter that cost $25, do you think i should wait until i get better or is binding easy enough to learn from.

[@Natespp11]

can you guys tell john ando thank you for making the protostar please and how come the popstar is not a signature series :(

[@EvanCole]

What is better protostar or dv888 taking into cosideration the price difference. I have a Grind machine 1 but want to improve my skills.

[@wasdbob3]

this is awsome . ihave aprotostar and it out plays my metals

[@codywright7628]

Amazing Video! Protostar is So Awesome!

[@202andrew]

Paul is so good.

[@Leviajohnson]

I miss my protostar. Totally buying another.

[@KFMStudios]

@awsomemicspencer It's a low response yo-yo, in other words, unresponsive. which is great!

[@wasdbob3]

hey yoyofactory i bought a severe 2010 and the berring wont go on the bearing seat is there any way i could refund it or get a new one ?

[@RobbieG12333]

@xYoYoNoobx he did win 2010 worlds in the artistic performance division

[@QuackQuackGoesTheCat]

I just realized something at 2:17 Paul is wearing a Superstar T-shirt when this is protostar video

[@CalebJF88]

[@superfamlyguy3]

[@Crossstrings2]

Is it possible to hit the combo at 3:04 I've been workin on it and just UGH

[@AdrianCiubotariu]

[@thebrandonvu]

[@yoyofactoryvideo]

[@nerdofallnerds]

2 of my favorite pro's in one video, *jizz*

[@MoogledCoupe]

Nice video. Camera is nice.

[@Fathanjais]

In the beginning of the video John Ando is calling all of his friends to buy a protostar..

[@eMazeHZ1028]

how does it stay spinning that long

[@HuseyinGurkan20]

Protostar is the best plastic yoyo !

[@funnypadma]

John Ando plays fast with the protostar

[@4BeansinaCan]

This guys a total beast

[@jordancournoyer9200]

I have been trying to figure out Paul Han's green triangle trick I don't understand

[@Luckmydude]

It's just a GT laceration, isn't it?

[@Restrict341]

[@Jean3boi777]

[@SomeGuyTHPS]

@yoyoman11432 No it's not. Where did you hear this?

[@Keviii291]

0:58 LOL at random guy watchin paul play

[@Jordan4139]

does the starlite yoyo play like this?

[@Paqipperman]

the protostar is awesome, large gap so you can do many rolls n stuff

[@eric_dao]

[@Telvinni97]

What song is this?! Frikin awesome

[@wasdbob3]

wow amazing vid i have protostar out plays most of my metals

[@fallenangemon0]

Two of my favorite throwers. Throwing. Fuck yes.

[@SomeGuyTHPS]

Got my Protostar in a couple weeks ago and it threw awesome. But recently the bearing got really dry and loud so i put some lube on it, then the bearing got very stiff. Now it's responsive and only spins for 10 seconds. What the hell?!

[@nakulah]

my favorite yoyoers are andre boulay, jensen kimmitt and grant johnson

[@funnypadma]

who likes John Ando thumbs up

[@TerryGxSurpreme]

[@Jordan4139]

@Tlarsen289 deffinatly. Right out of the box this thing rocks. Its the same with any yoyofactory yoyo pretty much :)

[@AvantGardeYoyoing]

[@Keviii291]

wuts the difference between proto and north?

[@synergy970]

2020 anyone?

[@slobbymunk481]

yep lol

[@hanzkelvillanueva3433]

2024 brotha

[@Raymo89XX]

he was in team shaqler which won the ap division in 2010

[@Tuxedoman23Studios]

Honestly, I think the Starlite is better... Reasons: 1.) It's cheaper, but still has the center trac bearing 2.) Lighter 3.) IT GLOWS IN THE DARK 8D

[@jenova997]

witch one is better northstar or protostar
