You’re welcome That’s not to say it isn’t a good yoyo, but there are better throws in that price range now. There weren’t many in that range to choose from when YYF dropped the Pocket Change. It’s about the size of a Dark Magic.
As far as pocket sized yoyos… The Token seems pretty popular, though I haven’t tried it. I do own a Popstar though. It’s a good yoyo. It has the weight of a full sized throw. Around 66g I think. That makes it feel bigger, though it also feels like a rock at the end of the string. It requires a slightly modified throw, but with a good bearing it will perform well and sleep for a surprisingly long time. Personally, I like it for a pocket throw because it is pretty small but not ridiculously so and can handle any trick, really, and also serves to help train your accuracy.
You guys rag so hard on the Popstar. I don’t see anything wrong with it, but then again, it’s the only truly undersized throw I’ve tried. So, my point of reference may be skewed. What makes the others better? Do they play bigger?
Haha sorry. Trying to do too many things at once :
The others are just the opposite of that
By others, though, which do you mean? The St. Eel was the only ‘mini’ yoyo I cared for. Haven’t tried a Flea. Littles was ok; a little light for me, though. Token looks promising.
Only good pocket throws at that price are probably the token, the popstar, or the aoda littles.
Out of those I’ve only tried the popstar. To me it feels kind of like a smaller dv888 because it’s a rock on the end of a string, but it’s really fun to play.
Token is really good, just swap the bearing for a center trac. Dont really like cbc response pads. Unforgiving on a bad throw tho…my friend has the popstar. He didn’t like it at first but it’s starting to grow on him a little more.
I agree, save about $20 more and get a Dingo. It will be a better fit in your pocket than the token, due to the modified shape. It will be a quality small throw, fits in your pocket great, plays great, and you won’t regret it. If I’m not mistaken YYE will have blue ones and black ones soon.
