well raptor isn’t too smooth on the string but dv888 is but IDK about SR-71. I think it’s dv888 cause bi-metals have quite a bit of vibe even with SSA. IDK if SSA takes eaway vibe but bi-metal has to have more vibe than all metals. so dv888 is my preferance. ---

They all play good. What are you looking for in a yo-yo? The DV888 is undersized and has flat rims. The SR-71 and Raptor all both full sized with different profiles and weight distributions. I own and like all of them but I am partial to the one with my name on it 🙂 ---

Well I think you should buy a DV888 because it is full metal and smooth, but it is undersized ---

well raptor seems to be more "rough on string like most people say dv888 is “sososo smooth”. even though but it actually is more over than a raptor. how do i figure? I research and try. ---

While im sure the DV888 might be an okay throw (im not much for YYF), i would say get a raptor, man. It really is a terrific throw for 40 bucks. plays better than alot of their higher priced screaming eagle line, and uses a flowgroove response system, so silicone it and youll be set. plays nice a stable, slightly faster and more agile with the caps off. ---
