I’m not sure if a trade offer counts as help really, but I’m not sure if there are any specific rules on this. The Phenomizm has gotten a lot of stellar reviews it seems. I personally have a New Breed and I like it a lot. A lot of the newer YYJ hybrids have a tendency to be good, I haven’t gotten my hands on any of the models with solidspin, but I haven’t heard much bad about them. ---

I just received my SR-71 today (one of the newer yoyojams), and it’s on a completely different level than my two lyn furys, in terms of overall quality. It’s got a smoother surface, more metal, MUCH less vibe, and two bearings. The thin bearing is VERY quiet, so quiet that I think that it’s been lubed with grease. The speed bearing spins pretty well. There are a few types of plastics that yoyojam uses. I only know that celcon is supposed to be more durable. In my opinion, celcon feels softer than the other plastic(s). They also use a few types of metal: aluminum, gold, brass, nickel? not sure what else. They also have different weight distributions: evenly distributed, or rim-biased. They also have different sizes and shapes They also have different responses: silicone, starburst, hybrid, “double O-ring” rubber (with those weird dimples) If I were to pick a yyj yoyo, I wouldn’t pick gold, because it’s too expensive. I would not pick celcon because I don’t like its feel. I would pick silicone sticker, full-sized yoyo, and rim-biased weight. The results of my preferences bring up SR-71 or Dark Magic 2. ---

Yoyojam yoyo’s usally have matal rims… this is because gravity pulls the metal part more than the plastic cause the metal has more weight, causing a more stable yoyo… And their yoyo’s are durable… especially yoyo’s made in celcon!.. Love it! YYJ ROCKS! ---

> [@laxdude99](#): > > I would get a hitmqn pro I agree. I love my Hitman Pro. If you like metal rims, stick with a Dark Magic or Hitman/Hitman Pro. I’ve also thrown a SFX, SR-71, Atmosphere, Phenom, Phenomizm and Revolution, and I’ve enjoyed them all. YoYoJam makes really competitive, quality yo-yo’s, and you really can’t go wrong with them. It’s merely a preference thing. If you’re looking for the metal rims, and you don’t mind a smaller yo-yo, Hitman Pro all the way. I still think that the Kickside is one of the best inexpensive yo-yo’s on the market though, hands down. ---

Hitman four life. DM is pretty sweet. I would avoid the black knight UNLESS you like really heavy throws. It’s stable, but it is really a unique throw. Oh and Xconvict is wicked awesome I would just recomend a pair of shims for when you want to make it less responsive. ---

It’s not real gold, it’s just a cosmetic difference. The price difference, as least with the Worlds Editions, is only 5 bucks. In my post, I said nothing about color. I said gold was expensive, not gold color. Gold is a type of metal. Gold is over 7 times as dense as aluminum. It makes sense to use gold to add more weight-bias. The Phenom has 24K gold plating and is really expensive. Yes, 24K gold is real gold. No, it is not 5 bucks more than the Phenomizm. ---
