I believe that I am a fairly decent and avid yoyo-er. While I am not a yoyo-er who goes to many competitions, I enjoy yo-yoing a lot.
For the past year, I have been using a dark magic 2. This yo-yo walked me through every trick from brain twister to Yukki slack. I now feel that I need a better yo-yo, A: because I just don’t feel the Dm2 is fast enough, and B: My Dm2 has been scratched up a few to many times.
I have been searching for a new yo-yo high and low for the past month, and I would like to hear all of you’re ideas. But! there are guidelines to what type of yoyo I am looking for.
It must be a full metal
It must have hubstacks, or be compatible with hubstacks. Now, it doesn’t HAVE to have hubstacks, but I believe that these would be nice.
Keep it out of the following brands: Duncan, Yomega, and Crucial.
It should be good at 1A & 5A
Keep it below $110 (Let’s assume there will be no fancy paint. a.k.a bare minimum)
Finally, I ask that you don’t just put the name of the yo-yo, but also put why you like it in detail. Last but not least, this yo-yo SHOULD be fast and have a good sleep time. (3 min.+)
What’s wrong with crucial? The new Soda blows my mind.
Anyways if it HAS to have hub stacks your basically looking at YYF unless you can get a modded M1.
Only throws that are all metal that I would bother with that have stacks is an 888 or a superstar. The 888 would be the quicker one but a superstar on a shorter sting can be quick as well. The Grind Machine is pretty cool but it’s plastic so yeah.
I’ve only played with the aforementioned yoyos with stacks to that is what I have to bade my opinion on.
Well by reading what you said, you said the DMII was too slow for you so i don’t think that a hubstacked Genesis would be good for you cause its around the same weight.
I would have to say a punchline or a gnarwhal, both around 100, very grindable nice shape and they can sleep well past 3 minutes depending on your throw.
ahh you don’t need our advice you have all the info you need. Just use your criteria and pick a yoyo. there are only a hand full that fit that bill, all of which will be good. Choose the one you like best.
The yoyo’s named before me are very good. Although G5 is great, somewhat that people mention vibe and useless Z-stacks. I think Z-Stacks are cool, but I can’t afford to have one yoyo with one.
A Hubstacked Genesis is very good, like while the fact that Genesis is great.
888x is one of those yoyo’s that are just pure good that I can’t describe.
Also consider the 44 Special Edition. Not sure on this one.
Also, most yoyo’s you find around $110 will hit 3 minutes of spin with ease. They spin for 4-7 minutes.
Of the ones I’ve listed, I, IMHO, would recomend either 888x or Hubstacked Genesis. For the cause that 888x is already named for a very good high end metal that is around the top of the ladder.
The Hubstacked Genesis is good and is described with the posts before me.
