P2 factory seconds

David from 1Drop:
These are Factory Second Project 2s with Flow Groove response. As you can see in the photo they have a small bubble looking spot under the IRG lip. An air bubble forms in the anodizing tank and blocks the dye from fully taking on that spot. It's a small flaw and everything else is perfect on them but we decided to make them available to those who don't mind a small visual flaw who would like a discount on the yo-yo. We've dropped the price to $75 and you can choose from green and orange.


link here.
Factory seconds are like 'b-grade' or 'fool's gold' of 1Drop for your info.

a few direct links to mention...
first of all, Ryosuke Iwasawa's first freestyle representing CLYW, GAMBATE!
and everybody's favorite, Hidemasa Senba from Duncan Crew Japan! he has become so thin.
also Shinya Azuma, from team Hspin!
Shinya Kido, from Team 44re:creation!
and, Johji Takamatsu is BACK with a pretty clean 1min freestyle!
SPINGEAR Owner Taka joined 1A too~
here's my personal favorite, Reiki "Spencer" Sekiya. Japanese players call him Reiki Spencer cause he plays like Yuuki.
AP2008 4A runner-up, also an all rounder player, Naoto Okada's 1A.
World2008 5A Champion Takeshi Matsura joined 1A and 3A too.
THP member and funny guy(Kleaven said so) Satoshi Yamauchi's 2A.
SHAQLER's Atsushi Yamada's 2A.
Ap2008 2A Champion Shuhei Kanai.
and of course 2002-2007 World 2A Champion Shinji Saito.
Taka's 4A soloham freestyle!
and also Pon and Numa's comeback at 5A.

it a waste cause i don't see my personal favorite, Junya Kamimura's freestyle.
and also some of the players' main style, i don't see Naoto Okada's 4A, or Takeshi's 5A, they're probably seeded for some reason i don't know, where's Takuma Yamamoto? not taking part? seeded? i remember seeing him in the JN preparation video. Hiraku? alot others. anyway, the rest of the prelim freestyles are HERE.
enjoy!
