This i s my first review so constructive critiscm would be GREAT! First of all this is all about opinion. And in my opinion This yoyo is amazing!!! My Hard coat dv888 Made by YoYoFactory Looks/Intro This came in a nice dark green annodization, and felt extermely smooth, but some what smaller than my hitman, but way larger gap. With a nice flat rimmed shaped ( AND a nice little logo) i knew it was time to throw it. First throw The DV888 was really smooth with a wee little, tincy-wincy wobble, or none. It spun for a good amount of time, which i like to see in a yoyo. And came out of the box unresponsive ( unlike other yoyos i own). And best of all could do any tricks i know. I was very pleased. A Few Weeks Later… The Dv888 stills has no wobble ,or little to none, and i have had no problems with it. Best of all, with this yoyo i am finishing off the expert section and going into MASTER :o! This yoyo was definitly worth my moneys worth, and probably yours too, thats if you buy it. Conclusion This is hands down the best yoyo i own. For 65$, YYF did a great job with there new line of fundaMETALs and the Dv888.

thanks, I’ve got some newer ones like this… > **[General-Yo 5Star: A YoYo Phenomenon](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/forums/index.php/topic,11372.0.html)** > > Intro: Christmas day left a smile on my face, and a new yoyo in my hand. No just another fundametal, or something cheesy. But what was left in my hand was a General-Yo 5Star v2 (USA edition,green on light green). Now its name is a 5Star, but is it... Gizzyo out. ---

I like the review, but i do think next time cover some more topics besides just the general ones like play and design for example maybe you could add how the yoyo feels, size, bearing, response system, or add some stuff like is it good for grinding, whipping, ect. This way people will know if it is the right yoyo for them. But i did like the review, and being your first that makes it even better. I dont know if you looked at it or not but yoyoexpert in the forums tells you how to make a good yoyo review and that really helpped me.
