So I have been looking at A LOT of ‘high end’ yoyos. I would like to know if it doesn’t matter which one i get, because I heard that most of them play beautifully. But clue me in on some that aren’t worth the $+100 ---

I know that not all of these are near $100, but here are some that IMO aren’t worth the money you pay for them. Again, this is just my opinion. YYF Skyline YYF Boss C3 Halo CLYW Arctic Circle ---

But clue me in on some that aren’t worth the $+100 It’s all a matter of preferences. If I don’t care for a yoyo, it might as well sell for a nickel. If I do like it, then I start to really analyze price vs. performance. There’s a lot of amazing sub-$100 yoyos worth checking out. ---

If you want metal, get a capless and call it a day. No other metal (MAYBE the theory) can compete with it in the price range IMHO. ---

> [@kclejeune](#): > > If you want metal, get a capless and call it a day. No other metal (MAYBE the theory) can compete with it in the price range IMHO. My preference is for the RecRev @ or Sine//saw, which are the same price. These are just two more amazing “bank account friendly” models that I would also highly recommend. Nothing against the Capless. I really, really like that one as well. The “budget” C3’s easily perform at the $100+ range. RecRev gives the same kind of impression: performs at twice the price you paid, assuming retail. For the models I got at contests, paying $40 direct from RecRev, they usually easily play three times the price I paid. ---
