Hi, I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on a high end 35 dollar 1a yoyo. I’ve been considering the protostar or the alpha crash but if there’s any other nice throws around that price I’d like to know. Tks 🙂 ---

Get a Classic, IRpads, and a KK and you are going to thank me 🙂 ---

Protostar or Northstar are the ideal choices if you’re looking for a fast answer. They are both excellent. The YYJ Chaser plays fast and light yet is heavy. Not for everyone. Trigger: I’m just loving this to death. Excellent for 1A and 5A. Legacy II, is great. Classic with a better bearing(KK or Trifeca) and silicone: OMG!! There are others, but these are stand-outs in my opinion. ---

Token if you are experienced and just want a fun little yoyo. ---

Thanks guys! I’ll probably get the Alpha Crash. Does it still have a lot of rim weight though like a protostar, being all plastic? ---

I have a hard time believing that the Alpha Crash is an all-plastic yoyo. The Protostar doesn’t have this problem. ---

> [@walterC3](#): > > Alpha crash , play like a USD180 !! I assume you’re referring to the Berserker, which is a fantastic yoyo. Unfortunately while the Alpha Crash may share its shape I felt it played nothing like it. The one I played felt kinda hollow and cheap. For $20 it’s ok, but not what I expected from C3. Maybe the one I played was a dud but I’d easily take a StarLite or Classic over it. ---

I’d choose my one star over the alpha crash ---

Trigger! If I had to choose between it and my protostar I would definitely go with the trigger.
