Well the C13 is based off of the Catch 22… Which had insane rim weight but from what I heard unless you have great throws, the C13 is very unstable… So its up to you… The Genesis should be veyr stable and has sweet rims… It looks alot like the GM 2 ---

Well… Do you like big or small yo-yo’s? I haven’t tried a Genesis, but I have tried a C13 and I didn’t really like it. As Mitch said, the c13 is very unstable unless you have an amazing throw. I have heard many great things about the Genesis, btw. ---

Superstar is a large sized yoyo. In that case, I say Genesis. Catch13 is an undersized yoyo. ---

Yeah, if you like the superstar I’d go Genesis, its full sized and and H-Shaped… But if your feeling risky then go C13… Whole new experience… I’d take the Genesis ---

The BOSS is an amazing yo-yo, the best one I’ve ever tried. Like I said, I haven’t tried a Genesis, but the BOSS is undersized, 888 shaped with raised rims… so… I think if you bought that, you’d love it. It’s great for grinding too… it’s beadblasted (correct me if I’m wrong please.) ---

If you take the 888, strip it of its hubstacks and posts and beef up the rims you gotta boss… They cut out the center weight and gave it an H… ---

> [@Mitch](#): > > If you take the 888, strip it of its hubstacks and posts and beef up the rims you gotta boss… They cut out the center weight and gave it an H… And the BOSS costs less than an 888 too, and feels, and plays better in my opinion. ---

The BOSS plays nothing like an 888. I really dislike the Genesis for 1a, so here are my choices: 1st, BOSS. 2nd, C13. 3rd, Genesis. ---
