I need a new metal, like from 60-100 bucks. About the post Samad made: 1. What size do you prefer? I’ve grown attached to a Dark Magic, anything bigger feels funny, smaller feels funny, so roughly Dark Magic sized… 2. What shape do you prefer? A wide butterfly shape, not a speeder, and a nice surface for grinds. 3. What response do you prefer? Silicone (who doesn’t?) 4. Do you like to mod/maintain it? I won’t mod it, but I’m okay with maintaining. 5. Does color matter? Yes, it matter quite a lot. It has to be able to be seen easily. (against black) 6. How does your style relate to the yoyo? I like grinding with a yoyo, but I don’t really have a style. 7. What is your price range? 60-100 dollars. 8. What is your skill level? I’m roughly Advanced/Expert. I’m on the whips/grinds, and can do skin the gerbil, gyroscopic flop.etc (but I just can’t do boingy boing!!! \>:() ---

well I was gonna say m1 but that sounds too small for you now I know this sucks but there arent many yos in that price range the first thing that came to my mind was finding a right sized yo in your price range I compared my dna to my friends DM and they are soooooo similar so I would go with one of those the response you want wont go too well with the DNA but I thik you can sili it the response is the only thing that doent fit your preference hope this helps ---

If you want DM sized, you don’t want an M1. It is undersized. I think a DNA or SuperStar would be a full-sized yo-yo you want to check out. I think the DNA will be best for you since it has the wider shape that you are looking for. It is a little out of your price range, though. [http://yoyoexpert.com/product/yoyojam/dark-magic/view/images/02.jpghttp://yoyoexpert.com/product/yoyofactory/dna/view/images/02.jpg](http://yoyoexpert.com/product/yoyojam/dark-magic/view/images/02.jpghttp://yoyoexpert.com/product/yoyofactory/dna/view/images/02.jpg) The DNA has a slightly smaller diameter, but not much smaller. It’s wider than the DM, but you said you want wide. :wink: It’s significantly lighter than the DM, though. ---

I agree that the Superstar would be a great choice, as well as a DNA (A DNA moreso) However, try to get your hands on a BvM or a Peak. They sound like they would do you good. ---

Get a Hugo Z Hor, 100 bucks plus shipping, and from what I hear, they play amazing!! Or go to BST on YYN, I’ve have a Stargazer on the way now, almost bought a 5 Star, (still wish I would have), and have a MarkMont on the way as well. Great deals if you want something nice, but used. ---

I feel like there was no point in telling us your preferences than since the M1 pretty much only applies to one of your preferences: price. No offense, but honestly, yeah. It’s very different from what you told us you want. [Next page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/need-a-new-metal/1409.md?page=2)
