I am an intermediate Yo-Yo player i enjoy yo yoing very much but i am getting bored with my Kickside. I cannot decide if i should get a Legacy and eventually go into counter-weight or get a Big Yo and do offstring. They both look very fun, please help me decide. Thanks :wink: ---

Well, they are two completely different yo-yos that do completely different things. But if I had to say, I would say legacy. They can do anything you want them to do. From 1a to 2a to 4a. ---

Please delete this thread. You have an identical one, and making multiple threads about the same thing is against the rules. ---

Yoyokid25, that would be preference. Ask any 5a player if they like 4a or 5a better. ---

I love my Legacy. I had problems with it once when the left silicone pad came out, but those can be replaced easily. So yeah, I would go with the Legacy. PS. Note that the Dark-Magic and the Legacy have the same shape, however, the Legacy is smoother than the Dark-Magic, but the Dark-Magic spins longer. ---

One of my friends has a BigYo and another friend has a Legacy. The Legacy is way better for 1a, 3a, and 5a. The BigYo is slightly better for 4a. WARNING: If you want a responsive yoyo, DO NOT get a Legacy. The Legacy is completely unresponsive. If you want a responsive yoyo, get a BigYo. ---

Why does the Legacy have a longer “spin time” than the BigYo? Also, this thread was 2 weeks old. Granted, not a major necro, but it was still kind of old. ---
