yes. It’s a great yoyo. in my opinion, one of the best budget throws out there. and one of the best plastics. (excluding delrin or acrylic) Unfortunately the only one I’ve used has vibe (previous owner overtightened it) but it stills plays great despite the vibe. ---

Yes, it is great. All worth it. What I’m most surprised about it is that it’s very light and hollow for speedy play, but it’s also very stable. Hard to knock it out of it’s momentum. ---

You can play 5a with it, or 3a, or 1a. If Jensen Kimmitt used it to win contests than it better be good. I love mine. If you don’t want to pay over 30$ Than get a Starlite. Same shape, just s little lighter. Both are great! :o ---

Yep, ProtoStar is awesome. It’s worth it! Just be aware that when you get it, it won’t be completely unresponsive. Mine was semi-responsive for quite a bit. ---

Protostar is a great throw. I use mine for freehand. Mine was unresponsive and vibe-free out of the box Ian
