so i just got my first metal yoyo. i got one of the new dv888s that are suppose to be an updated 2011 version which weighs 67grams according to yyf. i really like it. smooth spins and pretty forgiving with bad throws, a lot smaller than i thought it was going to be! a few thoughts i have on it… its suppose to be red but looks more of a maroon color. still cool not complaining, just for other people who think its a normal red its more of a dark maroon. also it seems a lot heavier than my protostar/northstar. which the protostar is suppose to weigh the same and the northstar is a few grams heavier. why does my dv888 feel like it weighs more? am i just going crazy or what? also after playing with a metal for a few days, i think i enjoy the play of plastics a bit more. unless other metals play a bit more floaty. i just like the way my north/protostar just dont feel like their there. where my dv888 is a pretty heavy throw… still a great yoyo. done rambling, thanks for reading! ---

While the DV888 may be the same weight as the protostar it is also significantly smaller giving it the appearance of weighing more, but it’s really just compressed into a smaller throw. ---
