Small Bearing VS Large Bearing?

Wow, this thread turned ugly and negative fast. Hopefully this will change soon.

Personally, I’d be a little leery of letting someone that young play with a metal. Depending on your means, a metal can be an expensive purchase. Also, a metal can potentially have sharp edges that can cause a nasty injury even in relatively experienced hands. I own a couple of throws that I treat a little nicer than others for just that reason.

This brings me to another point. I strongly disagree with the whole yoyos = toys sentiment. Yeah, I know it’s a skill toy. I get that. I also get that injuries can occur, even with supervision, when a throw is in the hands of someone inexperienced. I’ve seen enough of this firsthand for it to be an issue for me. To dismiss if offhand as “just a toy, nothing more” seems a bit cavalier to me. In reality, it’s a lump of plastic and/or metal, spinning at a high rate of speed, and can do you a real number if not treated with at least a modicum of respect.

I know that the difference between materials and severity of injury can often be negligible – but if I had to eat a yo-yo to the face I’d much rather it was my plastic Lyn Fury and not my Noctu.

Just my $0.02 on the subject.
