I was thinking of getting the doc pop diy since I find plastic yoyos fun, but I already have a speedaholic xx. Is there a difference in the play style between the two?

it’ll probably feel a little more relaxed than the speedaholic, very comfortable on the catch as well

barely smaller in diameter

you looking for a budget unresponsive organic throw?

Honestly im not a huge fan of one drop. Granted ive only tried one of their yoyos, the reboot, but the flat bearing play was just too strict for me. Also that the paint peeled away anytime I did a thumb grind, and that yoyo cost 71$ 🤷‍♂️
