They’re really cheap and I heard that they’re great for the price. Any thoughts?

I like mine. a great throw, but you’re better off getting a classic and a bearing for that price. But the whip, its pretty darn fun.

Eh, I don’t really like how the Classic looks, I prefer the Whip’s aesthetics over it. And I’d rather save a few bucks than buy an unresponsive bearing for the Classic anyway. But is it really worth it? Does the Classic play better than the Whip?

I like the WHiP. Its really fun, BUT depending on what you want I would recommend a Speedaholic.

Just checked it out and, whoa. I like the design and it does seem pretty good for a few extra dollars. I do like faster throws but do you know it’s average spin time? I ask because I’m still trying to learn tricks so I need something with a decent sleep time. Thanks again though 🙂

Just for reference. I have a WHip and a Speedaholic and if you want a “modern” yoyo go with the speedaholic.

I havent timed it per se, but it spins for minutes. I would say no less than 3-4. I dont think you need more than that ever.

PS:  
Everything about the speedaholic is better.

Whip is fun. But the other yoyos you mentioned play much better. To be honest, the spin time of the Whp is very little unless you’re really good at it. I like mine though, just because it’s a crazy little bugger ;D
