I bought this Yoyo with the intention of not liking it. But throughout this review, let me tell you about how wrong I was!
The hotdiggity yoyo from Magic Yoyo is Dylan Kowalski’s signature throw and is one that I think you will really like if you are on a budget. It is light and airy but has a power to it that is hard to explain. It just works! If you haven’t tried it yet and want a new budget yoyo, definitely check this one out. It is available through yoyoexpert.com
B-grade atlas. Very serious performer. And only 25 dollars. May not suit everyone’s style though.
Looking forward to watching the review. Looks like it is outta stock on YYE though.
Edit: oops wrong thread, please delete
Glad you love it so much! 
I haven’t tried the Hotdiggity yet…my current favorite sub $30 yo is my Duncan Barracuda. I got it for about $20 new during a sale and it’s just an awesome throw! Love the shape, looks and performance!
I think @mystik would agree with me on it being a great sub $30 throw
Also, great review BTW! Really enjoyed watching!
Since there is no “best” only “favorite”, I have to say that I don’t have a favorite metal yoyo under $30. Heck, I don’t even have a favorite plastic yoyo under $30…
Cool review! I haven’t tried the Hotdiggity yet personally. My favorite sub $30 metals are the Duncan Strix ($20 here at YYE) and the new shutter trainer ($25).
Absolutely @twitch77! Barracuda is my jam.
I feel as if you added the green cup just for me!
Darn! It was litterally just in stock. When it does pop up, it’s definitely worth buying.
Once I try it out, it will be a great comparison! Thanks for the feedback.
C3 Cyber Crash is my favorite $30 and under but I’ve been wanting to try a Hotdoggity. I know that @ChrisFrancz is a big fan. Nice review, thank you.
I agree with others that “best” is gonna be meaningless as there are so many good performers even at this price point. So I’ll interpret that as favorite mono under $30 retail…
HotDiggity is definitely one of my favorites under $30. This price bracket can sometimes feel rather soulless with throws that perform well but are rather uninteresting. HotDiggity is not that. You can tell Dylan put a lot of love into it.
+1 to the Cybercrash. It’s a really fun, powerful, zippy throw that I need to give more love to.
The Vosun EZSpin is also up there for me. Super cheap depending where you find it and just a really good founded V. Actually prefer it over the Vanquish.
Lastly, if you can find it under $30, I really enjoy the Duncan Counterpunch.
@Justyoyoreviews Nice review! I really like your speaking voice and the way you approach the review. Not too hype, but not too sedate. Just a nice middle ground that feels authentic. Not sure how I feel about the short review in the beginning and then the After-Yo section. After listening to the whole thing, I kinda wished it had just been the After-Yo section. But that said, I see the value in a quick short-form review.
Edit: also I wish I could grow a beard like that. Mad props.
I appreciate the feedback! The idea behind the After-Yo is that I post the 1-minute reviews directly to Instagram. At the end, if people want to watch more, they can click the link and get to know it a little bit more. But if all you need is a minute to decide to pull the trigger, then no time wasted and 1 minute does the job! Short and simple is the main idea with all of the information you want.
Like others have said or implied: what one person considers best, another person may consider their least favorite. I don’t think I could say what my best under $30 yoyo is. I have lots and most have their own feels / merits and each one suits my roulette wheel of different moods. I guess I shouldn’t be replying to this thread since I can’t recommend one single yoyo.
I avoided Magic Yoyo like the plague for a long time. I decided randomly to pick up a galaxy version because I that lack that type of splash in my collection. Well I am very impressed with this yoyo. It’s a great jack of all trades yoyo that plays above its price level. It has a nice competition shape and feel without that added weight that can fatigue you. And it has character whereas some yoyos just feel generic and boring.
