I was wondering which yoyo I should get. I only have undersized yoyo’s so mabbey it would be a good idea to get the protostar? I want a yoyo that can do multiple wraps. Good spin time. It doesn’t matter if the bearing is loud. I have looked at sevaral reviews and these yoyo’s meet my expetations. I would like to know which you think I should get or which you like better and why. Thanks for your help ---

Both have good spin time and can do multiple wraps. The choice is yours. The Protostar is somewhat large and more H-shape. The DV888 is somewhat small and flat rimmed. ---

I have both, The protostar kind off spins more and is more stable. The dv888 has a blasted finish so it grinds well. On smoothness they are about the same, both have a very slight vibe. Something that I don´t like about the protostar is that its spacer and bearing are really stuck together and the spacer´s metal is very soft. The most comfortable when holding in the hand is the dv888. The protostar feels floaty and fast. The Dv888 feels solid and easy to move. I would say its up to you to choose, you won’t be disapointed by either. What about a protege, has the size of the dv888 and has the shape of a protostar. ---

I was about to get a dv888 for myself, until I came across the Yuuksta (and I picked Yuuksta). Yuuksta is about the same price and quality as dv888, but has a shape similar to Genesis, which is believed to be really really stable. Yuuksta also came with (it might still come with) the center track bearing. Of your two choices, I prefer the feel of metal, because it keeps my hand cool and is heavier for its size. ---

> [@gtyoyo](#): > > heavier for its size. Its obvios that metal has more density than plastic, but if you see a severe and a protostar wich are similar in shape and they weight the same. You can have 67 gram plastic and a 67 gram metal and the metal might feel light and the plastic heavy, the feel of weight that a yoyo give is because of the weight distribution. ---

I have found the dv to be smoother than the protostar Overall I recommend the dv888 ---
