ProYo Cold Fusionedit this page

From YoYo Wiki

The ProYo Cold Fusion by Playmaxx held the world record for transaxle sleepers for a significant period of time. The record (as set) included:

  • 3 October 1998, US National Championships, 7 minutes and 8 seconds[1]
  • 16 May 1999, Golden Apple Comics, 8 minutes and 21 seconds
  • 18 July 1999, Fourth Annual World ProYo Championships, 10 minutes and 18 seconds


The yo-yo can be appropriately described as an anodized aluminium version of the ProYo Turbo Bumble Bee, with a better ball-bearing.


Notes

  1. This record was set with a butterfly-profiled Cold Fusion prototype from Playmaxx. This model, whose working name was the Lightspeed, would undergo additional profile changes before being commercially released as the Cold Fusion GT. The Lightspeed was the working name for many of the Playmaxx yo-yos but this is probably the most famous. Playmaxx stated that they never used the name on a production model because of fears over legal challenges from LucasFilm.
