I haven’t tried every plastic ever made, but the Trigger plays most like a “metal” from the ones I’ve tried… stable as all heck. Loud, though. Chaser plays in my opinion like a Chaser. It is a fantastic yoyo and doesn’t pretend to be a metal; it’s just a great plastic (with metal weight rings). It’s on the narrow side, but the profile still gives it a generous catch zone. I doubt you could go wrong with either of those. I would pass on the Grind Machine (hated mine), and while I like the Lyn Fury, it’s a “fun” throw rather than a serious one. The YYJ Classic is a perfectly good yoyo, but if you have $30 to spend, the Chaser and Trigger beat it, IMO. ---

> [@aironish](#): > > PSG! The PSG is a disappointing throw. I’m sure it is “worth the money” (which is very little, indeed!) but it is outclassed in every way even by the Classic. Well, every way except maybe looks. PSG gem series are better looking than most Classics, IMO. ---

The alpha crash is great! You can read my review of it, I can’t post a link because I’m on my phone, but it is on this forum. I just tried it with a trifecta bearing; beautiful! ---

The classic is a performer with the right accessories. I got mine during a sale with a free c bearing. I used one rubber o-ring and one silicone pad and I love it. The plastic grind machine is a good choice also. I highly recommend the Yoyojam legacy 2. I learned all my first string tricks on that yoyo and I loved it. Hope this helps! ---
