Hey guys, I started throwing my Node again this week and I really like the yoyo but it can feel quite heavy for its size. I’d love to find a monometal that plays a bit lighter, but is still pretty similar in size. Thanks.
Diameter (mm): 55
Width (mm): 44
Weight (g): 68

My first metal throw was a Node. IMO the WR is comprable and feels like a upgrade to the Node, but with a similar shape.

I looked at the colossus VI and it looked close. Any thoughts on the colos-SUS? It looks even more similar.

If you would consider something slightly bigger:
This model commemorates the 10th anniversary of the "Berserker" series, one of C3yoyodesign's most Legendary yoyos. The first edition was released in 2012. In the same year, Team C3 Peter Pong Si Yee won the Open Division of the EYYC using the...
Price: From $ 44.99 USD
Brand: C3yoyodesign
Similar overall shape, but plays lighter IMO. I think the larger size contributes to that.

The colosSUS has more power because it is a Japanese design and focuses the weight on the rims
Can’t go wrong with colossus VI and ColosSUS
I would recommend the Recess Snack but you can also try the Godspeed

I’ve never tried the Colos-SUS, so I can’t comment on it.
Diameter, width, weight, and shape. Chances are any alternative yoyo you look at will differ from the Node in one or more of those specs. So what are your spec priorities (i.e., what order would you list them in importance)?

Japanese design? TopYo is a Chinese company. Unless there’s something about the Colossus that I’m not aware of.
The Colos-SUS has design from Japan because they were working with sus yoyo mechanics. Similar to yoyo factory having the Japanese design studio shutter.

I would say 1. Shape 2. Weight 3. Width 4. Diameter
The ThrowRevolution kaiser looks similar. Does anyone have an opinion on it. A bit pricier compared to these other recs.

G2 covenant would be a higher end version of the node.
Colossus VI will pretty much blow the Node out of the water. It’s cheap too!

I’ve been looking to add a G2 to the collection at some point. Thx
