I have just bought an x-convict, and was looking at the hitman as well, and their weight and size are very similar. I was wondering which was better, and if you all knowing yoers could tell me.

Your X-ConVict will treat you well. Since I am assuming you’re talking opinions, I would say stick with you 'Vict.

How do you like your X-Convict? If you don’t like it, try another yoyo. Otherwise, you should stick with it for awhile.

There is no better. It is all preference.
They are nearly the same, besides for a 2.5 gram difference, and a 1 mm diameter difference.
You should never replace a Yo-Yo unless it is broken, or not working properly. (i.e. cracked weight ring)
Other than that, if you’re starting a collection, great. The Hybrid Hitman, and Hitman are great Yo-Yos to have in a collection, as the double o-ring Hitman was used in Johnnie DelValle’s 2003 World, National, and Regoinal performance, all placing 1st with it. He also used a pair of thick YoYoJam shims to make it un-responsive.
I personally like the Hybrid Hitman. It is a great choice, and both have no real differences besides the response systems.
Overall, go with it. But other than that, you don’t need it. :wink:

FALSE.
When you want to change is up to you. Don’t feel you need to break your yoyo to change it.
If you really believe that Spencer, you’re being a little hypocritical yourself.

I know he can change when he wants to, but I was stating that a broken Yo-Yo for example - a metal weight ring cracked - would have to be replaced.
What if the crack got worse? Bigger? Brought the Yo-Yo up and cut his hand?
Those above would be worth replacing, rather than have an injury over something that could of been replaced. 🙂
