Spotlight Plus Yoyo Review

spotlight plus review

The YoYoFactory Spotlight Plus is a standout all metal yoyo built for advanced play and big tricks. With an ultra-wide profile and smooth, long spin time, this throw is designed to help you land complicated combos more consistently.

Ultra-Wide Design for Confidence

What sets the Spotlight Plus apart is its 60 mm wide catch zone, one of the widest in YoYoFactory’s lineup. This generous width makes it easier to hit complex string hits, hops, or horizontal elements with confidence. The result? Less stress on tricky landings and more focus on flow.

 

Crafted from premium 6061 aluminum with a Center Trac C bearing and unresponsive play, the Spotlight Plus delivers stable spin time and smooth performance suited for advanced 1A string play, 3A, and 5A styles.

Why Advanced Players Love It

As tricks become longer and more complex, control becomes everything. The Spotlight Plus is ideal for players who want:

 

  • A wide catch zone that reduces missed hits
  • Powerful, stable spin for layered combos
  • A yoyo that feels confident under pressure, not twitchy

Spotlight Plus and Hunter Feuerstein

Signature models are only as strong as the players behind them, and Hunter Feuerstein has proven that strength on the world stage. At the World Yo-Yo Contest 2025 in Prague, Hunter delivered an incredible performance that earned him 2nd place in the prestigious 1A Division, showing off the kind of advanced play the Spotlight Plus is built for.

His competitive journey through Prague’s global event, where players from around the world battled through multiple rounds and showcased the precision and creativity that the Spotlight Plus supports.
