ProYo
From YoYo Wiki
The ProYo was developed and patented in 1974, and was the first yo-yo sold by Duncraft/Duracraft/Playmaxx. Today the modern generation of this yo-yo is still being produced by Duncan.
The original ProYo was produced until October 1996 when it was replaced by the ProYo II. In October of 1996, with the introduction of the ProYo II, Playmaxx yo-yos rapidly became the best selling yo-yo around the world, with success in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Japan, United Kingdom, Poland, Greece, Norway, Sweden, Italy, Finland, Canada, Denmark and many other countries.
The ProYo II take-apart axle design (wooden, one-piece between the plastic halves) was patented as well as several other features like the ability to display removable pogs in one side. The ProYo II came in 36 different combinations of translucent colors and six combinations of solid colors as well as six combinations of glow-in-the-dark colors.
A very customizable yo-yo makes it great for advertising and logo promotions.
