Since the choices are Severe and Protostar, and I only have the Protostar, but I have other delrin yoyos, but I also have no interest in the Severe, I’m still going to recommend the Severe. Extra durability, gives you what you want from a metal, but with less damage than plastic. ---

Protostar is way good for its price, and I’ve heard some good stuff about the Severe. I would suppose Severe would be a little better durability wise since it’s solid delrin instead of the weight ringed Protostar. I’ve heard a lot of good about the Trigger as well, except there was one encounter where their son’s Trigger shattered when it hit the sidewalk outside. ---

I have not played a Protostar, but I have a Northstar and a Severe, and I would say Severe. ---
