I wrote a paragraph on the Dv888 vs. Hectic here: http://yoyoexpert.com/forums/index.php/topic,3640.0.html
And of the 3, it would come down to small bearing Hectic vs. Frantic. Over those 2, I’d say Frantic. Cooler future model, and never touches sides (unless you throw horribly bad). Very good.
Actually, the Hectic says on its page, it has the same comming up sharp and curving out shape as the G5. Dv888 or Frantic. Frantic is more of a narrower wing. Cool shape, and string will NEVER touch the sides. Dv888 has a butterfly, with a flattened rim edge. Like the eight8eight, BUT flat instead of rounded. Both choices you make, you will love both!
Check my reviews of the dv888 and frantic in the review section, its 50-50 between those two hands down, both out perform the hectic in my opinion its just a matter of size and weight preferences between the dv888 and frantic, they are both my main throws atm
Yeah. Dv888 feels a bit weird. Rounded, with flat rims. Hectic and Frantic both have weird feels too, but are better than the Dv888, in my words. Frantic. The shape allows the string to never touch the sides. And, the looks are eye appealing.
