Hello guys,  
I need your help. I recently won a contest and got $50, so I can spend anywhere up to maybe $60, but that would be pushing it. Looking for 1A yoyos right now. What I’m looking for is:

-Unique, or fun  
-“Floaty” if you can explain it  
-Still playable (spin time moderate-strong)  
-Not just straight V shape

Looking for something that will play well, but counter my other throws.

What I have:

-CZM8 - Light, fast, not really floaty, spin time less than average  
-CZPoint (2)- Stable but not too solid, spin time strong, able  
-Magic N12 - Solid, rock-ish, decent  
-CODE 1 - really light, floaty

Would prefer to not get any more v shapes, or really heavy throws unless it’s pretty unique playing.

Any/all suggestions welcome!

Absolutely incredible. More stable than the barracuda, super comfortable in the hand, and a smooth Blasted finish. All for $45

Bassacuda is great, but really solid, which I think is the opposite of floaty (I don’t mind the solid factor, I actually love it).

Prototypes definitely were. The production is bit lighter and bouncy on the string. Imo
