Hi everyone, Jonajune here! I am looking for a good string trick yoyo. I know nearly all the intermediate tricks and im moving onto advanced 1. Im looking at Protostar, Dark Magic, or Dv888. I don’t really have prefrences, except for the fact that I would prefer an unresponsive yoyo. P.S. I can bind! EDIT: I have a yomega maverick, and that’s it. ---

They are all great yoyos. If you want a metal get a DV888. If you want a hybrid metal/plastic, get the Dark Magic. If you want a Plastic, get a Protostar. I personally would go for either the Protostar or Dark Magic but thats just because those really interest me. ---

Based on what you said… my opinion is, you should go with a DV888. They are amazingly smoothe! Also they have a really good thumb grinding surface. One of the things that I like about this yoyo, is its really stable, even after all the times it hit my carpet. This yoyo also has a really big gap which will help you land more string tricks easier… Hope all this helped, and good luck choosing your new yoyo! ---

Thanks. I think my dad may have gotten a Dv888 for my B-day already… I guess I’ll see soon 😛 Thanks for the help! ---
