Pros: comes with slim and full sized bearings, pretty comfortable shape, quite a bit of weight which helps with the spin times, can take a bit of a beating and still play, one of the few YYJ yoyos with caps that actually look good, high response wall makes regens easier to control

Cons: high response wall means it’s not quite as forgiving on sloppy string hits, caps can get a bit rattly (easy enough to fix with a bit of super glue), not exactly a pocket friendly size

I think it’s a bit bigger in every dimension. Definitely feels bigger in the hand. I’d check for you but I gave both my GM and DM2 away already.

Edit: just did a quick spec check on the storefront and the DM2 is indeed a tiny bit bigger, wider and quite a bit heavier than the GM.
