Scrap the KK bearing. It doesn’t do anything to the responsiveness of a DMII. Instead of 25 strings, get 100, because you will be going through them quite fast. The DMII is one of my main throws, and has been ever since I got it. Personally, I like the clear ones, and then sending it off to someone to get painted. DMII’s are more than worth the money, but like I said, a KK is pretty worthless with them, or any yoyo for that matter. ---

Alright, so get a DMII with 100 of the strings and no bearing? ---

dark magic 2 is a yyj bi metal full sized, speed bearing. dv888 is yyf undersized fundametal , spec bearing really the dv888 plays better its full metal it also wont have any hint of vibe like most yyj bbimetal have. i think you should stick with a dm2, wait a little bit before you get a metal ---

Neither are better players, both are different. Honestly, just choose one that looks coolest and buy it. ---
