Hey everybody, I was just thinking about buying a Die-Nasty, but I was wanting to ask about it first, is it good for 1A, is it durable(like a Legacy), is it good for 5A, does it need recessed before using flowable silicone, and lastly, I was thinking about buying a center trac bearing, but I saw it was just 6 dollars more than the bearing itself, is it worth the extra 6 dollars? Thank you in advance. ---

> [@JUMP](#): > > The Die-Nasty yoyo comes stock with a Center-Trac bearing. this is true. go for it. the Die-Nasty is my favorite yo. be careful bacause mine broke. don’t over tighten. don’t hit the ground. other than that… most fun yo i’ve owned. that thing really plays awesome and the center trac is also my favorite bearing out there. it sleeps like a log and keeps the string straight. love it. although it was kinda noisy, (and others will back me up on this) but it kinda grows on you after a while. the gap is perfect for insane amounts of string being tossed around for 1a, and it has Steve browns’ face on the page for a reason. its made for 5a tricks. i love it its well worth the 16.99 especially because the bearing is like 85% of the cost. you cant go wrong. long as you treat it better than i did. plus it just looks plain rad. RAD :wink: but thats just me ---

It’s a plastic yoyo so it isn’t the most durable, but it is still a very good yoyo. The guy in this video doing 3a is using two of them.

I love my Die-Nasty. It is a larger yoyo but its still nice for 1A. I actually don’t like it for 5A, I know that’s odd, but to me it just doesn’t feel right. ---

It’s really an incredible yoyo. The caps make it crazy noisy, but you’ll get used to it after a while. It’s incredibly stable on the string, with makes it just perfect for 5a. It will probably vibe when you get, 'cause mine still vibes, but it’s not that bad.\ The only downside is that it’s very fragile. I breaks on the inner wall very easily, so just don’t whack it on the ground. Even if it’s carpet, a strong impact can still do some damage. Hope this helped! 😃 -Jump ---

Neither of these come with counterweights, but you can get them pretty easily. Drill a hole in a bouncy ball and put the string through it. As far as I’m concerned, it’s the easiest counterweight to obtain. ---

As far as I’m concerned, it’s the easiest counterweight to obtain. unless you already have something similar with a hole already in it… like a large bead… haha just kidding i cant think of an easier way that what he just said ---

Ha that’s true. If something you have already has a hole in it and has a decent weight then that’s easier, but next to that the bouncy ball is easy. ---

Thank you, everybody, for your help, I haven’t bought the Die-Nasty yo-yo, yet, because I decided to not get it right now, until I get a straight throw, maybe sometime.
