These have both been on my list of wants for quite some time. The valor is definitely drawing me in a bit more, but I do love the double sight line version of the Format:C. I hope to one day own both, but for anyone who has played both, can you offer an opinion/recommendation? ---

Valor. Format: C has that “hollow” feeling that some 7075 throws have. Valor just “feels” better, and I think it’s largely just a better design. Format was nice, but the Valor made me say “whoa, that’s really nice”. My $.02 ---

I definitely preferred the Valor out of the two. I also preferred the Benchmark V over the Format: C. Similarly I really want to try a Gradient, the shape just seems to cover a lot of ground. ---

I own them both, and would have to advise you to try the Valor first. They are both excellent YoYo’s, and I own several of each, but I would start with the Valor for sure. The Format C: is a solid smooth YoYo for sure. It feels a bit heavier than the Valor, and I love mine but the Valor is without doubt my favorite One Drop YoYo. I get the feeling that the folks at One Drop were not even aware of how special a YoYo they had designed at first with the Valor. It’s a YoYo that has quickly picked up momentum as more and more people have had the opportunity to try one. The Valor is truly a very special design and I would recommend it highly. (If you can find one) ---
