They are all very different yoyos. 888 is round, m1 has flat rims and a project also has flat rims i believe. Which one do you like more, round or flat rimmed?

You might not want this kind of answer, but it is inevitable. What is best for you will depend on what you like as a yo-yoer.

Answer these questions so that we can help you make the best decision:

1. What size do you prefer? (Big, small, medium, etc)
2. What shape do you prefer? (Be specific: Round Butterfly, Flat Rims, pointy shape, H-Shape)
3. What response do you prefer? (Silicone, O-Ring, Hybrid, Pad, etc)
4. Do you like to mod/maintain it?
5. What weight is ideal to you?
6. Does color matter?
7. How does your style relate to the yoyo? (What kind of tricks do you like to do?)
8. What is your price range?
9. What is your skill level?

Out of the yo-yos you listed, only the Peak fits your preferences. The other yo-yos are all undersized.

For those, I’d say Peak, M1, Project, eight/8/eight.

I think the Peak and Project both fit your preferences. The Peak is slightly larger than what you want, and the project is slightly smaller.

You can see the Peak used here…

And the Project here…

They are both good yoyos, but neither of them exactly fit your size preferences.
