I am considering buying the Spyy Ronin for my birthday (Yes I buy myself a nice present). Anyone ever used one? How does it feel? Is it smooth? Is it extremely heavy because of the metal? I tried looking for reviews but not many on this one. Youtube only has a video of someone using it. Not an actual review though. ---

It feels fine. It’s not heavy, it’s fine. The smoothness was fine. Mine was too smooth. I stepped on the yo-yo to try to make it wiggle more (so it would bind easier). I think it plays better now, you probably would not. It’s a yo-yo you can ignore. You can focus on the tricks you are doing, and getting your hands to form the string how you need. I hope this helps. I understand that this is really vague, but this is really what I think about this yo-yo. I really like playing with it. You might like one too. -Jacob ---

I love mine, it is really smooth, and the ano is really tough. It feels like it doesn`t have alot of rim weight, but it spins forever. The spikes work really well for metador, but the finish doesn`t really work for thumb grinds. You will not be disappointing. I would definitely recommend getting one. ---

I have one, along with an 888x and a one drop dietz. I was kinda disapointed. I got it after my 888x but before my dietz, it may just be a i favor undersized throws. To me, the Ronin is “bulky”. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still extremely enjoyable to throw, but I don’t attempt to learn any tricks on it that I don’t already have down pretty well. ---

Idon’t think it is undersized, it is just the rim that sorta curves down. ---

What about the noise level? Is it loud like the protostar? (I have a proto and compared to Dark Magic 2 its louder) and How easy is it to remove the spacers (if any) and bearing? Protostar is a beast to take out the spacer from the bearing. ---

It is quieter then the protostar and darkmagic, but it isn’t silent. The bearing seat is tight but the bearing is easy to remove with a bearing removal tool. When you first get it it might be a little hard to unscrew due to the tight bearing seat. ---

> [@nobody](#): > > Idon’t think it is undersized, it is just the rim that sorta curves down. it kinda falls between a fullsize and an undersize at almost 54mm. I consider full size being 56mm and 52 and below being undersized. ---

And to answer your question, i think mine is pretty silent with stock bearing. No spacers or anything, but the bearing is a tight fit in the seat so you’ll need a removal tool or pliers. I actually ended up replacing the stock bearing with a KK because this throw really requires a perfect throw, its unforgiving of a bad throw.
