I own both. Personally I much rather play the Iceberg, as the shape and feel is much more in my wheelhouse. ---

They’re really different designs, material aside, so comparing them is kinda apples to oranges. I personally much prefer my Iceberg but wide boi fans love the Marco. If you really want to compare bimetal to hybrid, you’d have to compare the Iceberg to a bimetal closer to the same shape like the Surveillance. ---

I like both. I like hybrids a little bit more since i always tend to gravitate towards plastic yoyos. The only downside to hybrids is that they can be specially fragile. So yeah, that’s a thing to consider when choosing. ---

Agreed, but have you broken a hybrid before? :thinking: ---

So I might just be ignorant here, but are hybrids and bimetals two different types of yo-yos, or two different types of the same yoyo design here? I’m genuinely asking. ---

Hybrid is like the YYJ stuff of plastic and metal, and bi metal is metal and metal. Newer hybrids are the bees knees. ---

If you can get your hands on a iceberg, definitely try it. ---

Yeah the term “hybrid” doesn’t really communicate anything in a void lolol. I feel like it’s just sticking around until someone stumbles upon a better term that sticks. ---

My favorite hybrid as it stands is the Phenomizm and bimetal is the OG berserker, but I’ve yet to throw a Draupnir. I should probably get on that… ---

Not broken as unusable, but one ding puts some nasty vibe on them.
