Hey guys. I’m getting a Protostar today. After having that for a while, I’m planning to get my first metal with christmas money. I’ve already narrowed it down to a few, but I’m still open to suggestions and recommendations. Here are the few I’m considering at the moment: -California. -Project 2. -Superstar. I’ll fill out the form now. 1. What size do you prefer? (Big, small, medium, etc) Medium to Big. 2. What shape do you prefer? (Be specific: Round Butterfly, Flat Rims, pointy shape, H-Shape) Doesn’t really matter. 3. What response do you prefer? (Silicone, O-Ring, Hybrid, Pad, etc) Silicone Pads or flowable silicone. 4. Do you like to mod/maintain it? Maybe, but not anything permanent. 5. What weight is ideal to you? 65-68g 6. Does color matter? Not really. 7. How does your style relate to the yoyo? (What kind of tricks do you like to do?) 1A, string tricks. 8. What is your price range? Nothing TOO expensive, try to keep it around the price of the Project 2. 9. What is your skill level? Intermediate/Advanced. ---

Any of the CLYW(Campfire, Basselope, BvM, or wolly MArmot) would be great. Also the BBYY Wedgie. HSpin CUT SPYY Flying V or SKY Chaser YYF Genesis YYJ ENEME, YYJ Axiom, YYJ Meteor ---

Out of what you are looking at, the Superstar or Peak would be great for you. ---

He said he doesn’t want a super expensive yoyo(Superstar, Peak), yet you suggest he buy them. Why not try a Lunatic? Nice and big, nice weight, and a full-on metal experience for a much lower price than the Superstar and the Peak. ---
