Depends. Shutter is a great budget choice. The benchmark is substantially more expensive, but is also supposed to be awesome. I also love my DM2, though I’d get a shutter over it. The rally is a great choice as well. Not very helpful maybe, but there it is. I’m recommending the shutter though you probably can’t go wrong with any of them. – basepi ---

I’ve heard some good things about the Shutter. I have a DM2 and it’s fine for intermediate to advanced tricks. Not many combos on it unless you’re good. The lava is supposed to be a good throw too. You can’t go wrong with a Onedrop Metal throw. The rally is decent, sort of like a Protostar. They sort of play like a metal but don’t have the feel or grinding surface. Overall, I’d go Benchmark V for performance or the Lava. Suffer if you’re on a budget. ---

You didn’t list it, but I say C3 Level 6. It’s $50 but doesn’t look or perform like a budget yoyo. ---

The rally actually has a great surface for grinding, at least for a plastic. It’s definitely blasted. (I have a white one, that might make a difference.) But yes, the benchmarks are also great choices. – basepi ---

Neither. Get the Yoyoofficer Hatchet. Noticeably better than the Shutter. ---

> [@Shai\_Hulud](#): > > You didn’t list it, but I say C3 Level 6. It’s $50 but doesn’t look or perform like a budget yoyo. I own a Shutter and a Level 6 and the Level 6 is FAR more stable and plays just as fast.
