Think we had one primo returned ever, so reports of a known fault are new to me.
That could be true, but this guy also has a positron, superstar, and genesis, which are considerably more stable. So if he compares it to what he has used, it is pretty unstable. I also remember the yuuksta as not very stable. Also, yyf primo has benn known to come with bad quality control, seeing as half the ones people have had came with insane vibe or wobble.
Ok ill probly get hate mail for this.
My top 5 OVERrated yoyos
1.CLYW Peak
2.Anti-yo Eetsit
3.YYF Supernova
4.YYF 888
5.OD code 1
Not that any of these yoyos suck they just didnt live up to the hype imo.
So basically these are all yoyos i was excited to try and when i finally did, i was like āThis is it?ā
I love my PGM: It plays like a FHZ with all the mods already done to it (unresponsive c-brg, sili recess, and hubstacks) along with a grinding finish. No, it doesnāt play as good as a decent metal, but it makes an excellent beater for less than half the price.
From my experience, I find the Velocity overrated. I saw a lot of people recommending it to newcomers a while back. Everything else in my box plays better than than the Velocity: Duncan Mosquitos, Pocket Pro Zombie (which really sucked), and especially an FHZ. It just wasnāt stable at all, did not spin very long, and the adjustable response would not stay in place. I think that YYF themselves pretty much killed it with the One and Whip.
why are people saying the yuuksta is unstable are you kidding me it plays amazing i have never had any stability or sleep time problemā¦ just because you have lots of good yoyos doesnt meen youāre a good player.
I can see where you are going with that. However. I also own many yoyoās of the same quality.
Iāve thrown a Dreadnought, many Superstars, Code 1, etc; So I know what a stable yoyo is.
I still stand by my opinion that the Yuuksta has no stability issues.
sorry for bringing this back from the death
Iāve seen some people naming the peak and the old anti-yo throws, and itās really weird saying 8 year old throws are overrated hahhaha.
you gotta have some context when it comes to the peak you gotta remember that if memory serves me right it was one of the first yoyos to come out with silicone as a response system, besides that the first or og peaks were beautiful to say the least. The shape is as classic as it gets and its a yoyo that almost 6 years after its initial released can still take almost every trick thrown at it. Donāt believe me? check out Sebbyās winning performance at nationals last year with a 3rd run peak.
the anti-yo stuff like the bape once again context is important, you gotta compare it to what was available at the time, did it need tuning? yes it did but that will always be a part of yoyoing, again the bape was/is a beautiful yoyo and that color combination was amazing and once again a classic shape, you canāt expect this classic throws released almost 6 years ago to play like a Turning Point Positron out the box just like that.
the hype on these two specific yoyos back then had to do with availability the og peaks werenāt realeased on a large run besides the machining issues CLYW had throughout the different peak runs.
the bape sold out like crazy because it was the improved eetsit that everybody was asking for since the release of that brown/silver beauty, once again context is very important when it comes to classic throws and the expectations that we put on them.
sorry for the long (necro) post 
I have formulated an argument regarding assessing yoyo quality, totally (I think) backed by High School level Physics:
When considering the quality of a yoyo, it essentially comes down to only a handful of things: Weight (the heavier something is, the more it will want to continue falling when it falls, especially with additional force: lighter yoyos will want to spin at a slower speed, heavier ones spin faster; it is also considerable that most of its force it creates when thrown will go into the string, so the heavier it is, the more likely it will break a string, and vice versa), material (yeah, the Northstar is pretty sweet, but letās face it: plastic doesnāt feel the same as aluminum, no matter how much YYF tells you otherwise), size (the closer the average mass of something is to its rotational axis, the faster it spins, the farther away from the axis, the slower it spins; a wider yoyo will be more stable/wonāt rotate as much on the vertical axis created by the string), gap width (this oneās obvious: smaller = responsive, and vice versa), gimmicks (yeah, hubstacks are cool, but when they jack up the price of your dream throw by $30, do you really need them?) and the bearing (If you buy a cheap, shitty bearing, chances are it will probably suck and will definitely break a lot faster than well-made ones. PROTIP: Donāt buy āvalueā bearings). If you purchase a yoyo with these things to your own specifications and properly take care of it, you will most likely have something you enjoy (unless, of course, itās defective) since there pretty much isnāt much else that goes into producing one. I love being proved wrong, so if I messed something up, correct meā¦ FOR SCIENCE!
TL;DR: Please, for the love of all that is holy, when you buy a throw, consider the specifications!
Yeah most of the yyf plastics are overrated, but thatās because they are amazing performers at such a great price. Who wouldnāt want to spend a couple of bucks for an awesome yoyo
I know right ;D the ONE is ONE of the most OVERrated throws out there. Itās true that itās amazing so I guess it deserves to be OVERrated Good job ONE!
All YYF plastics and the Primo
I dunno man I think the Primo would be more of an underrated throw if you ask me. The only hype it ever got was from retailers and YYF themselves but people really didnāt respond to them much at all. I personally really enjoyed the one that I played and Iām pretty surprised that it didnāt get more of a reception than it actually did.

The one is pretty over-rated in my opinion.
The supernova. It plays pretty much the same as the supernova lite which I actually prefer.
I have to go with the loopās like they are so annoying to use
Plays the same as the 09ā Severe too. I donāt think itās undeserved though.
Overrated to me means that a yoyo is so hyped and praised that when you get the chance to own or play oneā¦it doesnāt live up to that hype.
I miss severe 09

Same here 
Make more!
Especially those 44 Clash versions. Luckily I was fortunate to find another after I traded my first one off.
The CLYW Chief.
It was supposed to make me a yoyo master within 5 minutes of useā¦
