Loop720 by Shu Takada – the modern classic for looping and 2A

Dave’s take

“As a 2A player, I know exactly how annoying looping YoYos can become when you constantly need to adjust spacers, gap and response. That is a big reason why Loop720 became so successful: put on a string, throw it and start looping.
Shu Takada created a setup that is very accessible for beginners while still working at world-class level. It responds directly, stays consistent and requires relatively little tuning. If you want to learn 2A, this is still one of the absolute standard choices.”

• Shu Takada signature YoYo → developed with one of the most successful 2A players in the world
• Tuned specifically for looping → no complicated initial setup required
• Starburst response → fast and repeatable return through continuous loops
• Defined spacer/gap system → highly consistent and predictable behavior
• Beginner to professional → easy enough to learn on, capable enough for advanced 2A

Why Loop720 works so well for beginners

Looping YoYos react very sensitively to gap width, string thickness, bearing setup and response. Small changes can make loops travel upwards or downwards or cause unreliable returns.

Loop720 reduces that problem through a defined spacer-based setup combined with a direct Starburst response.

This lets you spend more time working on your technique instead of constantly adjusting your YoYo.

Developed with Shu Takada for real 2A play

Loop720 is the signature model of multiple-time 2A World Champion Shu Takada. It was developed not merely as a beginner toy but as a genuine looping tool.

That explains its lasting popularity: beginners can learn their first clean loops on it while experienced players can use the same basic platform for fast two-handed 2A combinations.
