My call for affordable metal is at $55: Di Base. Works great for me. But, I’m also loving the Magic YoYo T5 at under $20 shipped. I’ll explore other brands later, but that’s where I’d recommend looking. I did pay $50 for mine at CalStates, and adding to the awesomeness is that it’s a CalStates edition! ---

Magic Yos are a downright steal, but I agree wholeheartedly with the other recommendations…DiBase all the way :wink: ---

My choice for undersized would be the new c size bearing maverick. It is a great yoyo and doesn’t get enough love I think. For full sized God trick bounty hunter. The thing is really good for 49.99$ worth every penny an then some. ---

Frankly I’m surprised nobody has mentioned the yoyofactory dv888. Seriously I love the size weight and when I dropped a concave bearing in mine it played simply amazing. Yeah it may ding up easy but in terms of price and play I think the dv888 is the way to go ---

I was faced with a 1st metal choice as well not to long ago. I settled in for Di Base. It’s on the affordable side of the scale and plays amazingly for the price. Swyped from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2 ---

I just got an Echo I won Monday on a contest from Triple Crown. I am really liking it, the grooves in the catch zone ain’t as good as OD grooves but its beadblast is really smooth as is the weight distribution IMO. only think I wish is that mine had the caps to add a little weight but other than that, probably one of the best sub-$50 throw. ---

I would definately recommend the RecRev TA. It is a steal at only $40, maybe it is $50. Either way, it is a really fun throw, and a great shape, although it isn’t the fastest playing yoyo in the world
