TheSpecial Spin, also known as theLong Spin(in South Africa), is a yo-yo produced byRussellas part of their classic line-up of advertising yo-yos. It was meant to be a top-of-the-line yo-yo by Russell, and compared to theSuperandProfessionalyo-yos, it features a totally different mechanism.

It came in a shape similar to a DuncanTournamentor anImperial, but with a familiar bulged face similar to the Russell Super (Earlier models don\'t have the bulge, and looks more like a Duncan Tournament), and a narrow V-shaped gap to make string tricks slightly easier.

But the major defining feature of this yo-yo is its axle, which is concave in the middle and made of brass, which is different from those of other Russell yo-yos which were made of wood. This made longer spin times possible than with a wooden axle yo-yo, but not as long as those of transaxle yo-yos.

The Special Spin saw use during the 1980’s during the yo-yo craze that swept across the globe. During this time, professional Russell yo-yo demonstrators took the craze to 95 countries, to help promote and advertise most of the soft drinks produced by theCoca-ColaCompany.
