It’s a fun pocket throw but it’s gotten somewhat outdated. It used to be a must have throw but with the release of all the new budget throws in the past 2 years it’s lost it’s uniqueness in being cheap. Now days you have the shutter, czm8 and too hot from yoyofactory. Almost all of the yoyofficer lineup as well fits in the price range. C3 has the dibase 2 and level 6. There’s werrd with the minute too so there were definitely better choices but it’s still a good yoyo. ---

> [@darkmagicman](#): > > well i was thinking of getting the shutter but i heard it was very unstable Low walled wide yoyos will always be less stable but there’s great trade offs which allow for better horizontal tricks. Adding lots of rim weight will also help increase stability but there’s of course a limit there as well. ---

In my opinion, the worst yoyo made by YYF. It plays so bland, unstable and just all around… terrible. Its not fun, it feels plain and isn’t a yoyo I would ever recommend to even my worst enemy. ---

I think both the Shutter and DV888 are unstable. For the price, i think there are much better yoyos, like the Zeekio prism. ---

No they were the same version. His was so much smoother and grinded so good. Was there a difference in blast, or ano between the grey and red, other than just color?
