hey everyone the past 10 days was like a hell for me , because i was so confused to choose a yoyo that i can learn combos , but i finally found the one ! i heard about the floaty OD 54 and its side effects idea … WoW but i said how about looking for nice review before getting it so guys how this yoyo performs ? how floaty and smooth is it ? does it feel perfect on the hands ? how long the spining time ? is it that long to do combos ? can’t wait to hear nice things about this yoyo ;D ---

I love the OneDrop 54, it’s a really nice yoyo with a really nice feel. However, if you are keen on doing competition-style practice, or harder combos, or more stability, get the Code2 by OneDrop. Or the Code1. 54 is a really nice yoyo, but it’s more for leisurely throwing. ---

Get the code 2 trust me. So amazing. My favorite yoyo. Can handle anything and won’t disappoint you! ;D ---

> [@onedrop54](#): > > thanks for the replies guys > > so now i’m heading for the code 1 or 2 > > is there a huge differences between these 2 ? Yes. I personally like the Code1 better. It gives a really fun feel to it in my opinion, and it’s really bouncy and nice. Code2 is pure competition yoyo. It’s stable, and it’s much wider than Code1. I’d say it plays better, but not as fun as the 54 or code1. ---

I’d say it plays better, but not as fun as the 54 or code1. to be more clear which one of these 3 yoyos combines these things , easy for learning advanced tricks and combos + smooth and floaty and thanks again for your time ;D ---

Code 2 for me is fun and extremely competition oriented. The code 1 is more fun though and is slightly more floaty. It has faster rpms too. not as stable as the code 2 in my opinion. Both of my code 1 and 2 are dead smooth. I usually go to my code 2 when i want to practice or compete. And i go to my code 1 for fun time. Can’t go wrong. Believe me u will love either one. Keep in mint that the code 2 is 2 grams heavier… 🙂 The code is better for learning imo because of bigger catch zone and being more solid ---

> [@rockem](#): > > 54 is not good for learning tricks …facepalm. Honestly just get a code2. Get a 54 later on though. I love my 54, but I just don’t find myself throwing it. Code1 is a good player, but quite a funky shape. Code2 is pretty uniform feeling (in a good way) and can be changed up a lot with side effects. It feels good with a lot of side effects, which I didn’t find to be the case with the 54 or code1. ---

I can’t speak from experience, but OD are (were?) known for their stock bearing. I don’t imagine you would need to swap it out for anything else. ---

If you’re getting an extra bearing, go with Twisted Trifecta so you have a variety. Dont get another ten ball ---
