2015 WYYC Women Division 1st

First of all, please welcome WYYC 2015 Women Division Champion Hobbit Wang joining Team C3.

Hobbit amazingly captured her WYYC title as a first timer with the 2nd production run original Gungnir because of the fit size and good performance.

Although it was designed for 3A, it also has good reasons to be a 1A yoyo. After WYYC, C3 design team and Hobbit have discussed on improving Gungnir. She pointed out the following features:
1) Easier to control, especially for modern rejection tricks
2) Sand-blasted finished to enhance the smooth movement
3) Better gap width for holding more string layers

After the meeting, we study her freestyle videos and started to modify Gungnir on shape and weight distribution:
1) Added the “Double V Zone” from DarkSonic for better Horizontal movement and rejection tricks.
2) Changed to 8mm thick axle like Krown.st. for reducing the thickness at hubs
3) Rearranged the weight distribution. More rim weight for better spin time.

Now Hobbit Gungnir reborn as 1A model specialized for rejection tricks!!!

Worldwide release soon!!!
