Depends on your play level. Can you bind? if not I would get the revolution, since it comes with 2 bearings. If you can bind I would get the Dv888 its such a great yoyo, and its on sale!!! ---

Yes, if you’re moderately skilled, get a dv888 while it lasts on YYE. ---

Please change the title to be something revelent to the topic at hand. Something like “Revolution or DV888?” would be good. Please also move this topic to the “Looking for help and recommendations” section. Do you want a big or a small yoyo? ---

I am currently using a dark magic and am working on the expert levelof the tricks here but my dm keeps tilting to the side after about 5 seconds and it only spins for about 20 seconds though its supposed to spin 3 times longer!

You mean the bearing shield came off? That’s not a big deal. Take the bearing and flip it around. I bet it’ll still tilt to the same side of the yoyo. Work on a straight throw. Make sure your string tension isn’t too bad.

What happened was i striped the side so it was smooth and i couldn't screw it back in. then the axle broke and i gave up. ``` ---

This little circle held on to the side of the bearing by a large C? Chances are that has nothing to do with tilting the hybrid response is more of a difference but it honestly has no effect. Listen to Apetrunk, He knows what he’s talking about. @ lightjak, Metal Zeros are made of a cheaper grade of aluminium than most metals, and seem to have a higher tendency to strip the threading, especially first run. Just don’t think that it’s impossible to strip the threading, it’s just more likely not to happen and takes much more force than it takes to screw it together. ---
