Oh well. And I think we should stop hatin’ on Razor at this point. We have no idea what their yoyos are like, and according to them, some yoyoers have tried them and have loved them. ---

> [@Jamesofyoyo](#): > > They are probalbly made in China. If so, that says it all. It probably only cost them 3 cents to make it. (slight sarcasm) They are probably cheaply made and made from kids paid way under minumum wadge. Pocket knives from China stink. (Or atleast most of them do.) Pocket knives from USA rock. (Or atleast most of them do.) China made pocket knives are cheap. USA made pocket knives are expencive. Why? Because of how they are made. And why do you see a lot of China made products? Because they are cheap and people will buy them. And really, Razor is a famous company. They are run by smart people. I seriously doubt they would put out a yoyo that would not make them money. They are not loosing money. They are not dumb. And I really doubt these things are made from “high quality” alluminum. They are probably made from some recycled stuff, or extremly cheap alluminum. And if you buy alluminum in a bulk, or anything in a bulk really, it cost you less. (I know I am gonna get hated for sayin this but I don’t mean it in a mean way at all. I am just informing you what my theroy is on why these metal throws are so cheap.) > > “You get what you pay for.” aka 15 bucks = most likely not a good yoyo. And probably responcive. But don’t hate on Rasor, these yoyos (I think.) were designed for beginers. (Like most Duncans) But, atleast it will get some people into yoyoing! 🙂 > > ``` > James Reed! :) > > ``` You don’t make a good point. 1. Because you can barely spell and punctuate correctly,your opinion probably isn’t going to be either smart, or believable. 2. You most likely know almost NOTHING about Razor. I don’t either, heck, they could be making yoyos in China - but you don’t know that. You are making all these snap judgments on something you have NO KNOWLEDGE ON. How can you be taken seriously? You are obviously extremely biased. ---

Are you so blinded by the style of today that you have no appreciation for responsive play? Go get one of those “most likely not good yoyos” and play them responsive. Flyaway dismounts, stop and go, around the world. Don’t assume they were designed for beginners. And Duncan yoyos can be rocked by anyone, you just need the open mind. Go play a yoyo, stop talking when you have some inkling about what you’re talking about. We need to get rid of vending machines! They are the leading cause of death in twelve countries, and are obviously contributing to the recession. As a matter of fact, if all of the vending machines are not removed from California by 2013, then there will be a massive shifting in tectonic plates and the entire state will just fall into the ocean. You see, making stuff up doesn’t make an argument valid. ---

[http://www.calstateyoyo.com/?p=113](http://www.calstateyoyo.com/?p=113) HUGE step in the right direction. hope they maintain that kind of commitment. strong work, chris. folding money makes a yo-yo contest so much more exciting. bear in mind, i’m not gonna fawn all over them before i see some serious quality product and sustained visibility in the community… but for them to commit that kind of coin to a yo-yo contest is exciting and encouraging. ---

I think it is a good move for them the only quirk I see is that they don’t have any yo-yos posted on their site??? And if you search for Pocket Pros you don’t find any thing about yo-yos. I think they should show us something??? ---

And that’s just scratching the surface, there are tons of great, inexpensive yoyos. you can’t compare apples to bananas, but I see where you’re coming from. I’m not really referring to what you are. Here’s my story. Once upon a time, I was very excited to get my first aluminum yoyo. I went to duncans website to browse. At the time the only metal they had was a metal zero (abeit the cold fusion, which is too expensive at the time) so I looked it over. There was a 30 dollar version which was advertised as special edition, and a normal version for 40. I bought the 30 dollar version, and special edition turned out to mean first run. It threaded, of couse. I should have spen the extra 10. ---
