Depending on what model of the rockstar you’re talking about i’d have to say, it’s not a rock on a string. If you’re talking about the one that came out in 2010 i find it to be a smooth playing and stylish looking yo-yo that has every chance to perform above and beyond what people expect. If you are talking about the rockstar 2012 it’s a great yoyo that while similar to the genesis is more of a competition grade yoyo that can handle all of the needs for those who want to win a contest. It’s a gram lighter than the 2010 version which is a considerable difference from the original, the irg is a new piece to it too, the overall distribution of the weight on the 2012 rockstar is a bit more smooth than the original, though it does take away from the aesthetic value of the yoyo in my opinion… but it’s a great player if you like full sized yoyos. I hope this helps a little ---
