Sturm Panzer makes some of the finest high-end D-bearing yoyos on the market, and now they’ve created an entry level model to introduce throwers to the wonderful world of D-bearings - The DStarter2!
 
The DStarter2 is a full metal yo-yo designed around the smaller diameter D-Bearing. Machined from 7075 Aluminum and weighing in just under 63g, the DStarter2 has the premium look and feel of Sturm Panzer with a much more affordable price tag.
The shape is inspired by their crowd favorite Leo Sniper MK-II, with a smooth stepped profile that fits comfortable in the hand and spins smooth on the string. The light weight keeps it fast and nimble in play while the smaller diameter D-bearing amps up the spin power for a very competitive feel in play. If you’ve been curious about Sturm Panzer or D-bearing yoyos in general, the DStarter2 is an excellent yoyo to add to your collection!

I’m guessing Sturm Panzer finally partnered up with a Chinese manufacturer, just like YYR did?

I believe the majority have already been made in China. They still do all their assembly/testing in Japan. This one is cheaper compared to the others because it is a mono-metal.

Super tempting. Any chance YYE will stock some centering D bearings in the near future? I think I saw you had Difs, but anything else possible?

Hoping to get more Difeyo D bearings soon, but no one else really makes centering D bearings at the moment.

Thanks for the response. I like the Difs, but the price tag is a bit steep for my budget. Hopefully one or two companies start doing centering Ds as more and more D throws come out.
