What are some yoyos that look like the Canvas, and play like it, but much cheaper? Since most of us aren’t lucky enough to own one or don’t have the money for it, I thought of looking for some alternatives. Here’s my list so far :

Rec Rev Sharp  
Rec Rev Carbon  
Duncan FHZ  
Duncan Freehand AL  
3yo3 Bassline 2  
Anti-Yo Ywet  
Anti-Yo Bapezilla 2  
Anti-Yo Vizilla  
One Drop 54  
One Drop Benchmark O

As you can see it’s not very large so help me out.

Edit: Beat, FG, or Blank Canvases don’t count.

I’m not a huge organic fan, but there are a few that I love and adore. One of those is the Canvas. Another is the new Bassline2. 'Nough said.

This. You cannot go wrong with a Bassline 2. It is VERY similar to the Canvas. It plays beautifully. I have not put mine down. Get one.

I found the 54 with ultralights and the Canvas to be pretty similar.

So excited to see the Bass Line 2 love in here. I really hope manufacturers take notice that people still love well designed pure organic throws.

I have not played a Canvas but if you are looking for an organic shape, the Bass Line 2 is so good! The charcoal blast is scrumdiddlyumptious!

I want another OD 54 back in my collection. Getting it charcoal blasted sounds even mo betta.
