Avant Garde 2 Bgrade

YoYoFactory - Avant Garde 2

The new Avant Garde has an even more radical shape than the original!

The original Avant Garde's shape caused quite a stir, and now the new Avant Garde 2 is set to do it all over again, with a major shape change and a slightly wider body than before.

The rim has been broken into a double step, with a massive moat gouged out of it. The sides of the rim are polished to a high shine, making them stand out even more than before. The rims have been narrowed, increasing the ease of control. With the weight distribution so finely tuned, it's hard to feel the true heft of the yo-yo, which makes it easier to play longer. Just like the original, the Avant Garde 2 plays far smoother than you might expect at first glance.

If you're looking for a unique yo-yo that will make you stand out in a crowd (and not in a bad way), you won't regret checking out the Avant Garde.

"What is B-Grade?"
In 2009, YoYoFactory started selling a selection of "outlet" items at events. Calling them "B-Grades," that name has spread throughout the yo-yo world, and is now a common term.
At B-Grade sales, you can pick up excellent yo-yos with mild imperfections, discolorations, marks or scratches. These make them less desirable as finished products, but they're still great yo-yos and totally playable, meaning you can get a high quality throw for a bargain price. As a result, B-Grade sales have become very popular.

"What kinds of B-Grades are there?"
The majority of B-Grades have small discolorations or cosmetic blemishes from the anodization process. These are known as "C-Types," whereas yo-yos that are not perfectly balanced and have some vibes are called "V-Types." Some may have both types of imperfection; it's always good to double check

Important Points:
B-Grades are outlet products because for one reason or another they haven't met the maker's standards for their products, things to look out for include:
-color imperfections, finish may look dull or scratched
-bearing or response pads aren't well installed or working properly. Often, switching out these parts will address these issues.
-Bearings or pads may differ from the standard product model.
-Artwork or logos may differ from the standard model.
-Other issues may exist, but nothing so bad as to make the yo-yo unplayable.
