Yes, Raptor all the way. It is very smooth, almost vibeless, has 2 removable caps for different feel, weight , play, 2 extra sets of response pads (3 in total), comes in many colors, has 2 nice laser engravings on the side, plays very well and just amazing.
The Dv888 is not a bad choice, but people claimed that Raptor is smoother.
Raptor is a perfect sized yoyo for me, it isn’t too big like a PGM, but not too small. Dv888 is undersized, so don’t be surprised if you found out that it’s undersized. Dv888 has a H-Shape, while the Raptor has a wing shape.
