Well, neither the Dv888 nor the '10 G5 are “better” than each other. It’s about what you like in a yoyo. Do you like large, slim, angular yoyos? If so, you should like the '10 G5. ~Jump ;D ---

Are you willing to sacrifice size for incredible spin times? If so, get the G5. ~Jump ---

The Dv888 has a wonderful sleep time. Check your bearing. ---

The 2010 G5 theoretically should have very similar spin times to the Dv888. If that’s the reason you are looking into getting a new yo-yo then I think you’ll find yourself very disappointed when your new throw arrives. I know you say you have a good throw, but everyone could always improve. If it’s nice and strong, perhaps it’s a little crooked? ---

888 is closer to the Dv888 in size, but not in play. the Dv888 is much faster on the string than the 888. do you even want hubstacks? cuz if you do, get the PGM
