Now that I’ve narrowed down my first bimetal choices. Which one resists tilt the most, which one does fingerspins the best, which one is the best for intricate technical play, which one is the best for horizontal play? I’d also like a blasted finish. ---

I prefer the Weekend over the Nightmare, but I’ve never really looked into the Rave. ---

You know, you can just but something without asking for recommendations every time. ---

I don’t know what your play style is, so I can’t answer that. Compared to Rave, the Shift is lighter, smaller and does not feel much like a bimetal to play. This is a good thing I feel, because it doesn’t have a heavy, hefty feeling like a bimetal, yet retains all of the benefits that bimetal brings. ---

Wondering, does the shape of the Rave remind you of the Turning Point Leviathan 7, or a TP yoyo in general? ---

> [@The Yo mast3r](#): > > Wondering, does the shape of the Rave remind you of the Turning Point Leviathan 7, or a TP yoyo in general? Insofar that it is an organic bimetal. Other than that, it bears a slight resemblance, but not much more. However, I have heard that it plays almost identically to the Leviathan 7. This is pretty darn good considering it costs less than half.
