I am playing mine as a Modern Responsive with a Half Spec Greased Bearing. I am really enjoying it. Very Small Profile but surprisingly stable. ---

How does it compare to something like the deep state? Pretty similar I imagine. ---

Hacky comparison image, but you can see how they differ. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/b/3/5/b3583a4eb4d8f54d7df11a28fc0ab8f85bd850b5.jpeg) ---

Oh interesting. Closer to a Deeper State gap. ---

IMO, due to the larger diameter and lack of response bump on the Deeper State, there is still a big difference. I’ve never played the FRS Black Canon responsive. I would pick the Deep/Deeper State first if that was the goal. ---

i would say its more like the deep state with a response bump than the deeper state. deeper state is way more V than high walled i posted a good photo of the deep state and black canon profiles right next to eachother. > [@What’s your favorite pocket sized yo-yo yo-yo](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/what-s-your-favorite-pocket-sized-yo-yo/346337/131): > > Ive had a few pocket yoyos, and ive settled on the perfect two now.

I would say close to the Deep State, very similar. Deeper state is even more different. ---

The yellow looks great but the finish on Cerakote seems to vary a bit. I balked at the yellow FRS P2 and kind of regret it. ---
