I picked up a metal by Yoyomamma or Shen Zhou not to long ago because I was considering the Raptor also. I got it for less than 30 bucks and it even has a concave bearing in it with hubstacks. It doesn’t grind that well but that wasn’t what I was looking for either. It’s called the Battle Axe Blue and there is a video on youtube of it. Not too shabby if you want a metal with hubstacks. ---

You should get the new yoyo from Shen Zhou called the Blitzfire. It has hubstacks and a 10 ball concave bearing. I will be getting this soon it would be my second metal only $34.99 including shipping.
