I love metal throws just as much as the next guy but I still can’t seem to stop buying plastics. I have had my lyn fury( all black cap less) for a year now and I love it just as much as the day I bought it. With Christmas just finishing and the tidal wave of gift cards I received I think it’s time for a new one. I know the protostar is a good candidate but I’ve been hearing so much about the severe that I almost don’t have a choice. Deep down I am a YYF type guy So that’s another factor that comes into play. It’s safe to say I’m stuck in a bind lol. My top picks are chaser, severe, or protostar…what to buy, what to buy???
There is nothing wrong with liking plastics. There’s nothing wrong with liking affordable yoyos either.
As far as your upgrades:
The Chaser is heavy and plays fast and light. Wow.
Protostar: proven favorite and winner. Noisy though and a bad grinder. If you aren’t into grinds and don’t mind the noise, do not hesitate.
Severe: not a model I am interested in. That aside, I can’t see anything wrong with it. The new Delrin Champion Editions one is affordable and probably would be an excellent fit for you.
awesome feedback. I have been working on grinds and my wife isn’t a fan of loud throws so I’m def going with either the severe or chaser prob severe. The popstar protostar deal is enticing as well thou lol
I love paying so much less for an almost equal level of performance. Both types have there pros and cons but I’m pretty sure I’m speaking for everyone when I say being disappointed in a 20$ throw is much better than being disappointed with a 120$ theow
I think we should consider the Delrins to be plastics. They aren’t the same plastic we general associate with, but it is a plastic. While I don’t like the delrin Severe, I have a feeling this one is going to go down as one of the top delrins.
I haven’t tried a Severe, but even sight unseen I would wager that it performs better than the Lyn Fury. I say this because I have several plastics including a Lyn Fury, a Chaser and a Trigger, and even in that set of plastics, the Lyn Fury is not the best performer.
However… I think the Lyn Fury might be the most fun. So it really depends on your priorities. The Lyn Fury is light and nimble, and not particularly stable (you can’t be too sloppy with it!)… but it’s fun whipping that little sucker all around.
