The ironic part about this statement is that in order to do that, you have to spend even more time on the BST…

It would be nice to be able to do awesome tricks with a fast 201, but it isn’t possible. I chewed through my strings! My stock dv888 without the 10 ball only had a 35 second spin time, and when pushed to faster levels, it couldn’t hold it. To tell true, a pro needs a triple digit throw. Period.

I’m honestly dumbfounded I have to do this.

Ok a pro doesn’t NEED a triple digit throw, but the comfort range is different.
There are brands like C3YO that put out ridiculously amazing throws. I tried a friends capless, and was stunned.

You’re proving yourself wrong bud. A pro need skill and a yoyo, that’s kinda it. Price doesn’t really seem to make a difference every time. I have 3 digit yoyos that aren’t as good or fun as my Facade, Sceptre, G-Funk, and others.
Not saying I’m a pro, I’m probably in the bottom 20% of skill on here. 😛

Ok, personl experience-
It is more enjoyable when i throw a more expensive yoyo. Dv888 is better than a YYf one or Fast 201.

Totally agree! Actually, my DV888 is more fun than my skywalker.
I think I’m gonna trade that guy.
