It is possible that even though you will get used to the surge, you may have discovered that you like something that weighs a bit less. The hitman pro fits that as well as the lyn fury and legacy for less cash than the hitman. The lyn fury and legacy are great yoyos that can take you a very long way. ---

Shim would be good if you’re using a fatter string and find during string tricks that you are having issues with the yoyo wanting to return to your hand or mess up mid trick. If you find those issues then shims would be good . ---

The Surge is overly heavy. You will like yo-yoing much more once you get a good metal, or I did anyway. For whoever is asking about the DMII or Hitman, don’t get either. For the same price you can get some very good metals or if you want to spend 10 more dollars there is a very wide variety of awesome yoyos, both metal and plastic that you can get. Don’t make the mistake I made by getting a DMII, then a Dv888. Go straight for the good stuff. I won’t recommend anything specific in the 45-55 price range because there are so many good choices, but I will say if you want to see if you’re going to like yo-yoing for cheap, buy a Magic Yoyo and some response pads to replace what comes in them. ---

> [@dnj89](#): > > belive I would want to go up, aren’t both of them below surge? Not necessarily, I’d say the Speedaholic is above the Surge. But if I were you I’d save $40-$50 and get either, a Rally, a Yeti, a Shutter or a Werrd Minute. All 4 will blow away any throw in that price range. ---

> [@dnj89](#): > > belive I would want to go up, aren’t both of them below surge? Its the early on learning curve you need to get over. I learned most of the basic tricks on a duncan dragonfly. The surge can handle a lot right out of the box stock. once you start to get everything down you are going to notice that yoyo’s like the classic and the surge can handle tricks just like the YYF superstar or Supernova ---
