I know this is an older yoyo, but i was wondering if it’s any good. I am going to ask for a yoyo for Christmas and this one really appealed to me. So does anyone have this yoyo, and would you recommend it? ---

This is a great throw. I picked mine up used about a year ago, and still treasure it. It is a fast, kind of floaty yoyo, but is very stable. I don’t love the shape ( a yoyo that felt like that but was v shape would be hands down my go to throw), but that is preference. I put a ten ball in mine. So. Crazy. Smooth. If you like the shape, go for it. Also look at the capless. I have heard the two compared. ---

Yes it is. The current reality is that you really can’t go wrong with a SPYY product. (IMHO) ---

SPYY are probably the most consistently good company. The Addiction is amazing. Awesome finish, super smooth, not a real radical shape but also not too narrow or high-walled, just a nice all around throw and can be purchased for a great price on the B/S/T usually. ---

I bought one from that first run when it released. so it’s an addiction, plus on top of that it’s one of the best yoyos i’ve had the luxury of trying. ---

It’s still good, but then it would just be a matter of your preferences. ---

Yes, even the Spyder! I have a Spyder II and I really like it. It’s a fun little throw.
