Im looking into purchasing my first metal yoyo. Heres some of my choices: YYF G5 YYF DV888 YYF Yuuksta RecRev No.9 Which one do you think would be best for a first metal ? If you guys have any other suggestions for my first metal please suggest some. my preferences: - Below $80 if possible ( The cheaper the better ) - Something not too heavy, but still heavy enough to have long spins. ---

Since I see you like the Northstar (except for the cracking) than the DV888 would be nice for you. If you don’t mind me suggesting something, I would recommend the YYJ Axiom or One-Drop Y-Factor. ---

Now the DV888 is 45 bucks. That is a complete steal in my opinion. ---

I think Yuuksta will give you the longest spins. Overall, it’s my favorite. I can get it to sleep for 8-10 minutes. If you’re concerned about price, you can go for the dv888 or no.9 ---
