So im planning on getting my first full metal yoyo. I’ve taken a liking to the Werrd Rhino (my only concern is that it uses a A-size bearing, so i can’t change the bearing with a 10 ball bearing), string theory singularity (i dont like how its super undersized), frantic (really hard to find -.-), and the phenomizm (but im borrowing a friend’s phenomizm atm, so i dont need to buy one yet…) yeah… i’m pretty picky when it comes to yoyo because i can only choose 1… The main things I’m looking for is an angular butterfly shape, similar to the frantic-shape, diam of about 2 inches, uses a C-size bearing, has a pricetag of $70 or lower, and is purple (but any other color is still fine). Do you guys have any recommendations that follow this description? thanks in advance ;D ---

I was very impressed with the C3 Di Base as it is very smooth and stable. The most impressed I’ve been with a somewhat cheap metal, is anything that RecRev makes. The Mangaroo is mind blowing. If you prefer undersized, the Oscillatrix. ---

If you prefer undersized, the Oscillatrix. I personally tried out the C3 Di Base, and wasn’t that impressed. If you have around $70 dollars, I would try and scout the B/S/T for a One Drop Code1. I just tried one out today at my yoyo meet, and it was AMAZING! Also, a Supernova is a great yoyo, it’s full sized, and flows through tricks like butter. If I were you I’d just scout the B/S/T for throws, because you can get mint and practically new throws, and save yourself about $20-30 dollars. So you could get a $100 dollar throw for about $70, which is just in your price range 😃 Good luck! ---

I agree with koenigseggfire about the di base. ---

Are you looking for more angular throws? like the Rhino and the phenomizm? What do you like in a jojo? ---

> [@maxn93](#): > > anything yyr really Yep. Because its so easy to find a YYR for $70. I have the Singularity and I love it. Mine is bead blasted and it grinds like a dream. If your a fan of undersized you’d probably like it, it also makes you waaaay better at hitting tricks because you need a little more precision with it. Its my daily throw. Definitely something you should try. ---

Duncan Metropolis- just barely full sized, angular shape, purple option, great bang for your buck. That would leave you with money left for a 100 pack of poly string and a 10 ball I believe. (although I have to say that I’m not very impressed with the 10 ball) hope this helps! ---
