I’m thinking of getting one of these yoyos but I don’t know which one. Can Someone lost the pros and cons of each? Thanks! ---

I have both, and can tell you this: Irony JP: More stable Longer spinning Plays faster AC: A tad more floaty Probably better at grinds (i dont grind much) They’re both awsome throws, though as a competition throw, the Irony JP is hands down the winner. No doubt. The JP is a monstrous thing with its 58 mm diameter. It is also blistering fast, if you like something more medium speed the AC is probably the thing for you. Hope this helps! ---

This is apples to oranges. The ac is mid sized, while the jp is oversized. Both are amazing, just different preferences. Good luck! ---

Small axle isn’t a huge issue unless you’re constantly unscrewing the yoyo. Yuki ---

I’ve never tried the Arctic Circle, but I can tell you that the Irony JP is very, very solid and plays wonderfully. Its specs make it seem huge, but once you get used to it, the size is pretty natural. ---

Until i might get my Puffin in the future, judging from the profiles the Cliff seems like a big competitor of the AC in term of performance. The Puffin, however, seems like a really fun throw to play, not saying like it’s bad though ---

Irony JP. It’s basically YYR. They received input from Japanese companies during the entire design process. And it shows.
