Hey guys. I’m looking for a metal yoyo under 50mm diameter. At first I only found the popstar but now I’ve found others like the token, n8 etc. I’m a bit overwhelmed by all the options! I’m also not familiar with newer models as I haven’t been throwing for awhile. Any suggestions for the best metal yoyo under 50mm? Preferably under $50 USD.

Thanks for the reply!  
Do you know how it compares to the dv888? They look to be about the same size…

Neuae is a little more stable but both generally feel like rocks. Haven’t tried the pause but the fit was ok but still heavy on the string for its size. I don’t remember at all how the dolphin played with how little I threw it and how long ago.

Ah I see thanks. What about the g-fubk or dingo? Worth the extra $?

Yoyofactory 888  
Ilyy saint eel  
Magic yo N8  
Yoyorecreation 6  
Werrd Beef or mystery Meat  
spyy spyder 2 or stryker  
Hspin phoenix

You might want to see if you can find any of these for a good price. They’re pretty nice and in the 50mm range or lower. I thought they were pretty decent. Saint eel is more of a novelty like the popstar and token but a much better performer overall. N8 was another cheap undersize yoyo to look at as well.

Thanks guys!  
I might try the pause, since it’s only $25 and no other models have a color I like in stock (neuae, g-funk, fit).  
I might try some of the others later or go for a nice full size metal.  
I just wanted a small one for now to take to work 😛

Well I got my yyo pause in today.  
Have to say I really like it!  
It’s a little heavier than I expected, but the size is perfect. Glad I didn’t go any smaller!  
Thanks for all the suggestions guys!

I do have to mention I had a heck of a time putting it back together. Not very smooth at all, as if the threads were damaged. I was very careful not to crossthread too but didn’t seem to make a difference.  
My suggestion: don’t take it apart if at all possible!

That is unfortunate, it sounds like it is possibly faulty. Contact [info@yoyofficer.com](mailto:info@yoyofficer.com), they may be able to help you out there.

I can live with it :wink:  
I’ve taken it apart twice now. Both times putting it back together it feels like it’s cross threaded, but once you tighten it it’s fine.
