When I’m looking for a beast of a yoyo that can handle whatever I can throw at it, I like more angular shapes. While round shapes are just as capable, they’re not quite as forgiving if you’re just experimenting, free-styling or just being generally less controlled, IMO.
I would go with an Avalanche or Rockstar. But I’m not you. A mutant DNA looks like a lot of fun too.
I played the Rockstar 2012 and the first edition Rockstar yesterday and I was really impressed. If you want something rock solid and long spinning, then either Rockstar will be a great choice.
The Rockstar is a metal protostar and the protostar is a plastic that can play like a metal, you can imagine how good the Rockstar is. The mutant DNA looks sick too. Try out a Protostar too see if you like then get a Rockstar if you liked the protostar.
In my opinion go With the avalanche. Caribou lodge is a great company plus the avalanche is one of my top throws. If you can find one which isn’t easy.
