I vote proto too out of those two. But will vote YYJ DarkMagic2 over both of them. ---

Now that I finally have a proto I agree with everyone else. Go proto. Not only does it come in neon which is amazing in person but it just has a slightly better feel on the throw. Both play very well, but the proto edges out the northstar. ---

Proto is one of my all time favorites… And, for every “this or that yoyo?” combination, there is already a thread somewhere… ---

Northstar is heaver, Protostar is lighter. Depends on what you like. ---

I’d give the edge slightly to the Protostar. Also with the new neon colors! Really to me, it’s just a matter if you prefer translucent plastic or opaque plastic. ---
