Hey everyone, hope your all OK. 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. What would you recommend? ---

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. ---

I am not a big fan of the Legacy but if you can buy it for the price of just the bearing go for it. ---

The Legacy is a decent yo-yo, very solid. The Hubstack is more fun though, stacks make everything more fun! ---

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. :wink: ---

Oh Yo-yopro, I thought it was a plastic dark magic, as thats what the shop said. Well actually it said based on the dark magic. Anyone know if the legacy is any good? EDIT: Duh, I should read properly. Some people above said its a good throw for the price. So i’m happy, will have it on Tuesday. ---

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. ---

> [@Yo-YoPro](#): > > 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? I Can get the torque new for £15, Is that good? ---

Hmm, ok. I will have two yoyo’s when the legacy III arrives, one metal and one plastic. I might order the torque later in the month for that price, somewhere is closing down so I can get some good bargains. ---

> [@conanthewarrior](#): > > What is the better YYJ? I’ve already ordered the legacy for £10 with the two bearings. The Legacy is a fine yoyo. It’s based on the DM, different plastic and a bit heavier. Most any YYJ is good, it’s all preference. ---
