I don’t own a Scout. But I do have the Bonfire, Chief and Borealis. If you have the Chief, and are looking for something different get a Borealis. It’s a really great yoyo, and is completely different than the Chief. I’ll be getting a Scout in the future too, really love the Chief and Bonfire, so a mash up of the too has to be great. ---

Love the scout, a faster, yet more solid feel than the chief. I play my scout a lot more than I do my chief. Scout has a more powerful feel. ---

7 minutes is quite a long time, not sure why you’d need a yoyo to sleep that long lol. Pretty safe bet any ball bearing modern yoyo, especially metal, is going to sleep for enough time. ---

> [@Yshu](#): > > 1 thing im really worried is that im a intermedie…is the borealis long spinnig enough? I mea 7+ minutes? Any modern ball bearing yoyo will work, Gentry won with a Replay Pro. If all you want is spin time and stability look at a bimetal that aims for that, specifically something like the iYoYo Steel. ---

If all you want is spin time and stability look at a bimetal that aims for that, specifically something like the iYoYo Steel. Yeah im really worried about dinging my bimetal…i dont want its rims to dislodge…i want a durable metal,bcause i get really attached to yoyos and stuff. So…i guess i should get a borealis over the scout,and get the scout in like 2 months? ---

You can do whatever you want. If you want nonbimetal spin time, stability, and forgiveness then I personally recommend the Horizon. I’m sure any of CLYW will be good enough though
