Which one should I get? I really liked the Code 2, and I thought the Y Factor looked sorta liked that. But, I just tried a Burnside the other day and I really liked that? Which one? ---

I like them both, but I’d go for the Burnside if you’re looking for more serious play. The Y-Factor is an undersized and, IMO, more catered to being ‘fun’ to throw. ---

I have a Burnside. A YFactor is heading my way, along with a Project in a different box(I’m not sure if unboxing videos are gonna be made, mine take a lot of work). I should know in a week or so. But I have a feeling it’s gonna be Burnside. ---

The Burnside for sure. Its probably the best bang for your buck competition throw out there. Plays like pretty fast, nice heft to it without feeling like a brick and under $100 bucks. Can’t really go wrong with that. I kinda wished it was a tad bit floater feeling on the string but that’s just me. All around great yoyo though. ---

Great, now I need to decide whether to get a Burnside or get a CLYW. (That is if I have enough money for a CLYW. :P) ---

Knowing how much you love the cascade I would get the Y Factor… The Y Factor has a good deal of mid weight and feels great on a throw… The Y Factor is the best 50mm one drop (IMHO) ---

Two completely different yo-yos. Burnside: Cadillac Escalade. Y-Factor: Mazda Miata. Which do you want? I want them both. If you can only get one; I would get the Burnside. It’s dimensions are much more “modern” (larger) and the shape is more open. But that Miata is sure fun to drive. ---

Yeah, the Burnside feels angular and full-sized, while the Y-Factor is rounded and smaller. It depends on what you prefer.
