I currently have a dark angel that is unresponsive, which is OK, but for some of the easier tricks I would like to be able to pull up at the end, instead of binding until I am a bit more advanced.
A yoyo shop advised me on the Legacy III, which they say is a plastic dark magic. It comes with a half spec bearing to be responsive, then a wide bearing to become unresponsive.
My question is, should I just buy the half spec bearing, which is £10, or buy the yoyo which includes both bearings for £10? I think the yoyo is a better offer.
Also, there is the Hubstack yoyo by yoyofactory, which is only £8.50, that comes with a half spec bearing.
i dont believe you can just throw a half spec bearing in any yoyo, because of the axle length.
definitely get another yoyo that comes with one, if thats what you want. i have some cheaper yoyos for messing around that are responsive but they all use regular bearings, ive never had a half spec.
Ive already got stacks on my dark angel, so i’m not too bothered.
I ordered the legacy for the price of the bearing, and it comes with two bearings! A half size for response play, and a wider one for unresponsive. Also bought a pack of strings, as I don’t have any.
Should be here on tuesday and its a plastic dark magic, so it should be good.
I wouldn’t say it’s “Just a Plastic DM” but it is similar. Both are two different Yo-Yo’s. You still did well to get the Yo-Yo that has both Bearings included for the same price.
Save up your chips for the better YYJ or a mid-grade Metal like the Torque or the Shutter. Use what you purchased till you can get a better, more consistent flowing bind down.
What is the better YYJ? I’ve already ordered the legacy for £10 with the two bearings.
I think this will be a lot like my guitar playing though, I will get GAS (Gear acquisition syndrome) for more gear, so I can always get a better one after. So what model of YYJ did you mean?
