What do you guys generaly think about the M1? My birth day is coming up in a few months and I was thinking I might be able to squeeze $60 bucks out of each parent and get a good metal and then maybe make a case… I know I generaly say I dont like undersized but I realy havent used a good one and am a little worried… So I was thinking, the M1 is in the undersized ranged and its generaly well liked, and for that reason if I dont like it I could trade it for somthing I liked more… What are your opinions of the M1? ---

Here is my review of it. > **[My new M1](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/forums/index.php/topic,2462.0.html)** > > I just got my new One Drop M1. I got the pad response half blue half black. First looks was omg it looks so small, and when I picked it up it feels way to heavy for something so small, but you get use to it. Response out of the box was really nice... ---

I have to say its the best playing metal yoyo in the $60-$70 price range. Super smooth and super silent. I cant find a single bad review on the M1! ---

Just a question; Have you tried FundaMETALS? I prefer pretty much all FundaMETALS over M1s, but M1s are keeping up pretty well. ---

Ok, just wondering. 'Cause you really can’t say its the best in that range if you haven’t tried all of them. ---

That doesn’t bug me… That would be like a guitarist looking at some one new buying a Les Paul and going man it bugs me that he has top of the line gear that he doesn’t need… Or a race car driver going “Man look at that punk doing the speed limit in a Porsche” But I think Im going to go with the M1… Im thinking Black/Blue or Green/Silver or Green/Purple ---

M1 is great yoyo however I would go with YYF. It is light but feels very heavy. Its very good for 1a. If you want to do 5a it’s fine but I would go with something else. ---

The M1 is a great yo-yo. Often on the way out the door, the M1 is the yo-yo I reach for. That I love about it the most, is that you can beat it, and if you strip the axle from abuse, it is a simple nut and bolt replacement, not an entire yo-yo replacement. It is truly a care free yo-yo, and fits great in the pocket. ---

Tried many and compared . Beyond a doubt the M1 will be one of the best yos you will ever own . if its not ill send you 60 bucks and buy it off you 🙂 10ball is a sweet bearing , and you will love the feel ,balance and smooth silent play I think orange and black is sharp . or red and black I have a pewter pewter with orange string , IMHO do not buy another yyf , get a PGM if you dont get a m1 both awsome!! ---

I have a new (well a month old) P2 with a sealed 10 ball bearing that is very silent. I also have a MarkMont (sealed 10 ball) and an 888 with a 10 ball (deshielded), not so quiet. ---
