iAvery220, this has really started to be a bad habit of yours. Just because a yo-yo is more expensive does not make it better. Is the Pure Gold any better than the normal Pure? Nope, but according to your bogus theory it is. I have said it before and I will say it again. You can’t replace practice with money. The 888 is no better than the Dv888 and vice versa. ---

The 888 is no better than the Dv888 and vice versa. that is true a man who cant do a trapeze and gets a 888 is not going to make him better then a Paul Han using a DV888 but I think thee 888 is smother but tilts more where as the DV888 doesen’t ---

well it is smooth, but i consider it so smooth to the extent where it is a handicap. i would go for dv888 because it is cheeper, so if you dont like it, it is ok, and because it will make you play better on all yoyos ---

thankyou. everyone has an opinion on their own yoyo sucking or not, but still the expensive thing… just wrong. get a DV888. it is cheaper, has a better spin time, not as smooth but still very smooth. grinds well. i have both and i really prefer the Dv888. ---
