eight8eight v. Skyline v. DNA v. G5

I was looking through yoyos as I often do and I started wondering, “Whats the difference?” It says all these are based off on another. Can someone offer me some clarification

The shape and size and weight and everything besides the material it’s made of.
888 is small rounded.
skyline has more rim weight.
DNA takes the shape of 888 and makes it normal sized.
g5 has a h-shape offering more stability.

really? That different huh? I was looking through and the shape looked very similar if not the same but then again I ahven’t been at this whole yoyo thing very long

Yup. the weight placement can aid in stability and spin times.
and the shape and affect these factors too.
And some people just like different shapes.

have you played with a g5 before? The rims look really odd to me.

Also, for 100$ is the 888 the best choice? I always see rave reviews. I was thinking about a spyy addiction if I could find one. Or a onedrop but I don’t know how much they run for

Yup, I actually really like the h-shape.

Eh depends on your preferences.
888’s are nice and smooth, considering you have an x-vict you’ll probably like it since its undersized.

One drop is my favorite yoyo company.
the projects can run for 80$
dingos 40
and if you can find a used m1, probably 30.

Is the xcon undersized? It is only my second yoyo so I don’t know.

I think the h shape (Like the frantic?) would be a lot of fun and plus I think the string won’t contact the side as much to slow it down.

Idk. I wish there was a way to play with yoyo’s before I bought them to figure out what I like

yeah it is.
The frantic isnt much of an h shape. More like an angular shape.
Really skinny. some people hate it, some people love it.
It gets really hard to get used to. But I like mine.

i personally like the DNA it has that 888 shape the feels well in any players hand but is a full sized yoyo so it fits in your hand good and dosnt feel flimsy it feels big and full in your hand but though is a large yoyo is actually very light, so light in fact i added an o-ring for weight.

I don’t know that I would want to go much smaller than my x-con. I will find someone in my area that has some of these and play with them. See how I like 'em

Just write down all of the yo-yos on tiny strips of paper, put them in a hat, and pick a slip at random. You’ll be more than satisfied no matter which one you pick, especially coming from an X-Con. ;D

Coming from someone who played with an X-con for two years, you will love a boss, great feel and width!
