Anybody got something to say that will help me decide on which yoyo to get??? I really like the Dark Magic and the Metal Zero, but of course I can only afford one. Which one is a better buy and which has better play? Thanks for the help!! ---

Usually I would say both are great yoyos, but here I would recommend the Dark Magic. The Metal Zero honestly isn’t too great of a yoyo without modding, plus it has friction stickers which are super responsive and wear out fast. ---

I have tried metal zeros and I thing they are terrible my friend’s was responsive and had really short spin times. and i haven’t heard anyone really say anything good about them. As for the dark magic It is great plays great has long spin times and the one i used was really smooth. I say go for the dark magic. ---

Don’t think the Metal Zero is some horribly aweful yoyo though. It can be nice, and especially with modding. ---

Yep, gotta go with the Dark Magic on this one. Or the Metal Zero, if your willing to do some modding. ---

DM if you want it unresponsive right out of the box, M0 if you want to mess around with it, and make it your own. I like both, personally. ---
