The Russell Professional yo-yo is slightly heavier then the Super. Most of the older versions were handed out to yo-yo players during the 1980's, especially with the Coca-Cola spinner craze in Great Britain. It was also released in the Hyper Yo-Yo line as the Hyper Russell Professional (Japanese: ハイパーラッセルプロ). It came in either the classic bulged shape or a slimline profile similar to a Duncan Professional.
