> [@Andrew\_Broadbent](#): > > I really like the DM2 but I think you could probably do better, I REALLY like the duncan Echo for fifty dollars I think it runs for also the Shaquler Star is a wonderful yoyo, probably my all time favourite yoyo (though mine is a northstar) Also if its just the sleep time that is letting you down instead of dropping fifty dollars on a new yoyo perhaps a new bearing is what you need, a One Drop 10 ball bearing is a beautiful thing to add to a yoyo, better, longer, smoother spins for a lot less money than a new yoyo. Regarding the 10 ball. The heavy wing is a small bearing yoyo. Not compatible with the 10 Ball ---

Forget the Dark Magic and Forget the Echo, not that these are bad, but you can get a really awesome yo-yo for the same price. Get a Shutter. ---

What about the new Rally from One Drop coming out Friday? It looks promising and seems about my level. ---

The Rally would be super cool as well, and I would get it in a heartbeat over the Dark Magic. ---

> [@yoyo143](#): > > Am I Jensen kimmitt? _Looks at avatar_ Yes. I believe you are. 😛 Honestly I much prefer the Rally over the DM2. I wasn’t the biggest fan of my DM2 but I love the Rally to pieces, it’s such a great throw. ---

> [@yoyo143](#): > > Im getting really tired of people posting this. Am I Jensen kimmitt? Can I throw a 3 minute sleeper with a northstar? No. What I think people mean is that the northstar is adequate and that it can do almost any trick, not that all yoyoers can make it do that. ---

> [@Joralco](#): > > Get the new shutter you can’t go wrong for the price That would be one of many excellent choices. Also, some of the God Tricks yoyos should be considered as well. If you’re looking for big and fun, Bounty Hunter rocks! Lots of stuff in the $50 price category. Plastics, metal/plastics, and even metals. It’s good time to buy yoyos! ---
