Is this going to be your first 4A throw? If so I would suggest either the Griffin Wing (1st choice), Hayabusa, or Fiesta for a first 4A throw. As for the 2 you have listed I’ve heard good things about the Equinox but nothing yet on the Rextreme.

Didn’t say that to stop you from buying. I just don’t want you to think that the yoyo will make you better.

i would like to put in a good word for the fiesta as well. i love mine so much. its my first 4a throw, and can handle everything. and it only costs half of what the equinox or rextreme cost, so that is another good thing in its favor.

they both break and the feista and the reXtreme are very different seems like the rextreme want to slip off the string alot and you have to get used to a new throw so i recommend it but be aware they both break and the rextreme is the one i choose for you

I heard that the play of equinox is like the fiesta, but the reXtreme is different, so if you want a yoyo that plays like fiesta buy the equinox, but if you want a different play buy the reXtreme
