How do they compare? I heard that MYY response and bearings are hit and miss. Is that still a prevalent issue?
Yes, it is an issue. If it has a terrible bearing, it won’t spin long enough. And the Duncan strix has a kk stock bearing. I’d go with the strix. Plus I like the shape more.
couldn’t he just replace the bearing and use pads or silicone on the n12??? Also I heard that the n12 plays double it price tags so you get a good throw for less.
I buy MYY bearings to put in everything, Their 8 and 10 ball concaves(not konkaves) are as good as anything on the market. My CLYW has a MYY 10 ball, My OD has a MYY 10 ball. If I was replacing bearings, it wouldn’t be in my Magic yoyo.
Out of a dozen throws from Magic, I have only had one that came with a bad response. That was an n5 I got for $7. Get a MYY.
Yah, they do play really good, but I hear the strix does too… I dont like to spend much on bearings, and he asked If it’s an issue, to me, it is 
btw, if you are getting a myy, go with the n12, not t5. I think n12 is better.
How does t5 play? What’s the difference?
I got both.
I’ll see how they play.
