My birthdays coming, and along with the summit that I plan to be ordering, I would like some beater yoyos. I want some that I can take anywhere. My price range is under 20 dollars. I am planning to get 2 Of the yoyo I choose. I was thinking surges. How do they compare to a psg, high end metals, ect. How does it play? ---

Basically a really over all great plastic, it is a bit heavy for some, so be aware. However it truly does feel like you are throwing a metal. 😃 Oh and some complain about the gap size being too small, so if you wish you can add some shims to your order since they are just a dollar a set. ---

I really like the Surge. It’s a great yoyo (and it’s quite sturdy). It’s a bit heavy for me, but still great. ---

Don’t worry about the weight. It’s not an issue, you get used to it. It makes other stuff feel floaty! ---
