Ahoy Forum,
Im looking for a yoyo that
-plays/feels like the polycarb Skyva
-has similar specs
-has more power and stability
-is made of aluminum (metal yoyo feel, less vibe)
Im also not big into fingerspins so no problem if the yoyo cant do them as well, Id rather have more performance than fingerspin-ability.
Thank you!

are you talking about the metal skyva or the plastic one?

I think the Cheatcode is a fantastic alternative! It has a great balance between competitive and casual play so it’s a great all around yoyo. Also it’s by far the BEST finger spinning yoyo I’ve ever used! Even better than the Skyva in my opinion! I highly recommend that you check one out if you can 😁

Different throw altogether and requires a dead center aim but One Drop’s Thorn is amazing at some matador-style finger spins. Surprisingly, despite how large and sharp the spike is, it didn’t really hurt to land a spike on my finger.

Speedaholic XX & TopYo Mojo
Also: Plastic Fulvia aka Pilkvia
EDIT: Didn’t realize we weren’t on strictly plastic yoyos. I’d add the Diffraction v3 and maybe the Speedaholic Max as well.
