I was wondering if I should get the One Drop 54. I was planning on getting a Yoyofactory Supernova but I dont know if I should get this instead. Thoughts? ---

Personnally I would pick up my supernova before 54 but that is all my opinion what do you like the supernove is fast heavy and stable but a little fast but not super. The 54 is a bit faster lighter and not as stable I love my supernova for sale/ trade btw. haha shameles advertising ---

It’s a great yoyo. I have the stock aluminum spikes. It plays amazing, comfortable and super smooth It’s not one of my Top 5, but it’s a Top 10 for sure. I say that because I have other stuff I like even more, which would include a Code 1. I can’t compare with the Supernova, but it appears to me that the Supernova is a metal Protostar/Northstar. Not that there’s anything wrong with the Protostar or Northstar, as I have both of those plastic yoyos. So, all I could imagine is that the Supernova would also play similar to both the Protostar/Northstar, probably closer to that of the Northstar based on the weight. The Supernova is currently a yoyo that I’m not personally interested in owning right now. I’ve got a dv888 and a Mighty Flea, and overall, I just haven’t been taking a lot of time to check out YYF metals. That shouldn’t influence your decision, as YYF makes a lot of good stuff. Then again, One Drop stuff is amazing too. Go 54! ---

The 54 is one of my favorite yoyo’s. But it depends what you’re looking for. The 54 is probably not as stable as the Supernova, but I like it more. I tend to prefer that shape of yoyo over the H-Shape yoyo’s though. I use the 54 when I’m having fun with tricks that I already know pretty well. If I’m practicing something brand new, I’ll usually start with something more stable. ---

I was thinking about this same thing… maybe you should go for the Supernova Lite, its fast, stable, and has a great price tag. As for the 54 it’s not as stable, but has a great size if you like full sized throws ---

I have both of these. The basic difference is the open-gap and extra-width of the supernova. With these it will be easier to land strings and loops. The width will give stability - but at the price of being less maneuverable and a bit more float - especially when moving in and out of strings. If I were to get one - I would pick the 54. It is one of the best all-around yoyos there is. Learning with it will make you a better player. If you already have a good organic throw (traditional shape - think 54, Y-Factor, 888, Canvas) then I would try out the Supernova. I replaced the stock YYF bearing in mine with a General-Yo AIGR bearing and it is one of my favorite yoyos. Good thing about your choice: you can’t go wrong, both are fabulous yoyos.
