I dont know what a level 6 is, never played a Dv888 (but heard its not that good), but I have a shutter, and it is awesome. ---

I’ve not thrown the Level 6 nor the Shutter. From I’ve read here and there, Shutter and Level 6 are both extremely performant yoyos, and both highly ouperform the DV888. They are both at the top of low cost metals. I personnally prefer the shape of the Level 6 ---

Dv888 is good trust me you either love it or not and I love mine. But the shutter is an absolute beast. I would go shutter because it’s much more stable and spins longer than the dv888. I’ve never heard if the level 6 so I have no comment about it ---

Shutter or level 6, definitely, rest goes to preference Level 6 is c3yos new budget metal based on krown, p wave, di base and some other stuff Anyone have a level 6 that can deceive how it plays? ---

It is a bit on the heavy side, but its fast and stable. It is OK at grinds. It finger sons like a champ. I also have a shutter and I would recommend level 6 over it. Level 6 somehow is a bit faster with out losing the solidness, guess that 69 grams helps. The size on level 6 is not large or small. The width is perfect too. Shutter to me is a bit oversized. Honestly level 6 can be as good as krown and p.wave with the right setup. ---

Shutter or level 6. I haven’t tried the level 6, but shutter is amazing, especially for the price. The dv888 sucks (to 95% of people). ---

I enjoy my DV888 but it is a little small for my tastes. I am looking forward to trying the Level 6 and the shutter. That will take a few months.
