I really want a yoyo that is heavy, stable, and flowy on the string as well as look clean and nice. I would like it to be around $50 because my parents will be disappointed if i spend more than that on a “toy”. It would also like it to last me forever. Iv’e been looking at the H shape benchmark from one drop and I really like clyw’s yoyos but they are too expensive. Right now I’m using a protostar but want something that looks better, is smoother heavier, and better with slack tricks. Thanks for any help and Happy Valentines Day ---

An 2013 or 2014 Benchmark H is what you are looking for. Only that it is 8 bucks above your budget, try convincing your parents to let you pay that much more. ---

Is there any real difference from the 2014 and 2013 benchmarks other than the side effects and the price? ---

> [@FocusFun](#): > > Is there any real difference from the 2014 and 2013 benchmarks other than the side effects and the price? I own a 2014 Benchmark W and it is my favorite yoyo, beating out more expensive ones I own such as the Summit, Code 1, and Gradient The Flat Caps side effect from the 2014 models are my favorite, they work excellent in any side effect yoyos. The 2013 models use Spike side effects. I have the Spike side effect that came with my Gradient and I’d say the Flat Caps side effects are better. Description below is taken from YYE 2014 Benchmark yoyo links, > [@](#): > > "2014 is coming to close and the new Benchmarks will be releasing. The basic idea is the same, but we feel we have pushed the envelope even further in a few ways: > The width is 1mm bigger. > The diameter is 1mm smaller. > The shipping weight is 1 gram lighter. > They all come with a new Side Effect: Flat Caps. > > In general the play characteristic could be described as faster than the 2013 models. Even though they might look similar from a profile view, the weight distributions are much different and they play a lot different. These aren’t meant to replace the 2013 models." ---

You won’t regret getting the 2014 benchmark H.
