Well?
I say Northstar. While mine is perfect, I have heard way to many stories of cracks. Just get a protostar.

Can I say the Genesis? I mean, it’s good, yes. But not till the level where almost everyone has one. It happens in where I am. Either they have one, or they want one.

Genesis, any “star” yoyo, and actually pretty much any YYF. I want to be positive and think of one that’s not by them, but I really can’t.

888x. Every noob or good person wants one, even though I don’t. Sure, they are nice yoyos. But some people make them to be the best yoyo in the WORLD!

In YYF’s defense, I love my G5, and it’s one of the yoyos I hardly ever hear people talk about.

1. I had a near mint one before. Thought it was good but i found my ministar and 54 beating it. I sold it within a week. I would also say DV888. Good price but i found the response failing a lot (It’s not that im bad at binding) and it also wasn’t what people had said it to be.

I have to agree with this.

No it doesn’t really matter, but 99% of the conversations we have on here don’t really matter. I’m definitely interested to see what yoyos people find overrated.
Personally, I’d have to say the Superstar. I owned one for about a week. I did not see what all the fuss was about. I exchanged it for an MVP.

I would have to say any yoyo that the new “champ” of the year is playing. All the fan kids/winner pickers seem to flock to those throws.

The Protostar has a bad vibe, don’t use it because it’s distracting.
Cheesenewt mentioned the dv888. I have one and don’t even know it’s spinning it’s so smooth. Put liquid silicon and the response is perfect. Only comes back on a good bind.
With the ten bearing it’s super quiet. Use it over a carpet to avoid dings…

when I think “not nearly as good as I expected”
the genesis comes to mind
the cut (hspin) was also a disappointment and I ended up trading it even before the yoyo I traded to get it reach it’s new owner
some like it, I couldn’t keep it

I feel (IMO! \<-Just so I don’t get flamed :P) that most YoYoFactory yo-yos seem to be overhyped, everyone says they’re so good but when I get to them, they just don’t meet my standards.
