The BACKLIGHT 2 is the larger, wider sibling of the original Backlight — a bi-metal yo-yo designed to avoid extremes. No oversized diameter, no ultra-wide shape. Instead, it delivers a perfectly balanced profile that suits almost any playstyle.
With its large stainless-steel rims, the Backlight 2 provides impressive power, long spin times, and a beautifully smooth feel on the string. Precision machining ensures a clean, stable rotation that feels immediately natural for both progressing players and seasoned throwers.
Compared to the original Backlight, the Backlight 2 is more stable, more forgiving, and noticeably more versatile — yet it maintains enough agility to stay fun and responsive in fast combos. It’s the kind of yo-yo you keep coming back to because it simply works in every situation.
JulyYoYo was founded back in 2020 by the Chinese YoYo player nicknamed “Hornet”. JulyYoYo initially flew under the radar of many players, but thanks to various champions in China and collaborations with other brands as well as a very professional appearance on Instagram, the brand has made a name for itself.
The designs clearly show that there is a real YoYo player with passion behind the brand and not a run-of-the-mill factory that also produces a few YoYos on the side. The quality of workmanship is absolutely world-class, as JulyYoYos are manufactures exclusively in the factory with probably the highest quality standards in the world.
