I personally dislike it as a yoyo. I feel that there’s too much centerweight and it just doesn’t perform as well as other micro throws like the st eel or even the token in my experience. ---

I like it a lot…put a good bearing in there and its nice and smooth and really does play well if you know how to handle it…takes some getting used to but its worth it. ---

I actually liked the popstar. With a CT bearing and careful throws it was as well behaved as a full size throw for me. Of course there is going to be more center weight, it is like a donut hole vs full size glazed. I found the token less interesting, and the mighty flea WAY too interesting. Angrily interesting. ---

the popstar is one of my favorite throws. period. That being said, every time I log onto yye someone is hating on it. It is one of those yoyos that you either love or hate. A lot of people don’t like it and I can understand why, but if you are into “undersized throws” then you might like it. It is really fun for tech but if your style leans more towards bigger tricks then the popstar probably won’t be what you are looking for. so basically, imo tech and chopsticks = yes body tricks and that sort of thing= not so much ---
