A heavy stable plastic throw that has a history of weak hubs so dont crank on the yoyo too much ---

I love the Northstar. I like weight and stability above all else, so it’s perfect for me. Best plastic at that price range, in my opinion. ---

The Northstar is great. Despite its weight, it can go quite fast. ---

i really enjoy the northstar. a ‘full’ size yo yo, that definitely feels substantial at the end of its’ leash - at least to me. solid, stable and deliberate - which is somethin’ i’d expect from 70 gms of yo yo. i don’t use the ‘markers’ to tighten the halves. it spins true regardless, it seems. the centre track bearin’ does its’ job - even though it’s a bastardized dif-e-yo konkave. i have no regrets w/ my purchase 🙂 mgodinez rain… ---

I do like the Northstar, but it’s a bit heavier for me. ---

I have both the Counter Attack and the Protostar so I would be interested in how the Northstar plays. ---

lol I agree. so I got the northstar in, on the first throw I really liked it. wasn’t as heavy as I thought it would be, somewhat floaty reminds me of the genesis. overall I really like it cant wait till tonight so I can see it glow! ---

I loved the Protostar, I enjoyed the Northstar. If you like heavier or slower yoyos then you will probably prefer the Northstar.
