Hey guys, I’m looking for an Upgraded plastic, (maybe Delrin) and I have narrowed it down to these: YYA Crazy-D, YYF Severe, YYA The V, YYJ Inspire, and the OD Rally. Just wanted to know what one of these five throws you guys would recommend. I already have the Diffusion, in case you were going to recommend that :wink: ---

I don’t know if I would count the inspire, it has metal rims. I’ve heard the Crazy-D is really good. ---

Do you have a classic with a concave bearing and yyf pads in it? It’s good. ---

Thats what I thought when I added the Inspire, but I guess it’s “close enough.” XD Have you ever played any of these yoyos? ---

Personally like a YYF protostar or northstar much more than a rally for whatever reason. Most of those others I haven’t played. I can do any combo I know on a protostar. can’t say the same with a rally. I’m not trying to bash any yoyo, but these are my experiences. ---

The Dark Magic II is pretty nice as well. It’s got metal rims. ---

> [@SkinnyBNY](#): > > The Dark Magic II is pretty nice as well. It’s got metal rims. A lot of people say that. Personally? I hate it. Compared to most delrins and some other plastics. It feels just so cheap in my hands. Mine also vibes pretty bad and came with a sub-par bearing. ---

Just wanted to know what one of these five throws you guys would recommend. I already have the Diffusion, in case you were going to recommend that :wink: What about the triad? That said the Crazy D is my favorite and the only one I’ve kept. I owned a severe which felt hollow and the V gets crazy vibe due to the screw in caps whereas the D is press fit. I just sold off my inspire because it feels really heavy on the string and is a bit slower. The OD rally is an amazing plastic though. Id’ say the rally spins longer and is more stable than the crazy d but there’s nothing that makes it stand out. It’s strictly a competition oriented throw that’s nice. The Crazy D however plays more mid speed and I personally have a lot of fun with it. ---

If you had to choose between the crazy-D and the Rally (just for everyday play) which one would you choose? ---
