SR’s dv888 Review Introduction- The dv888 from YoYoFactory is the first yo-yo in the fundaMETAL line. The dv888 is a great choice for your first metal, or another addition for your growing collection. First Impressions- The dv888 from YoYoFactory comes in the standard YoYoFactory box. The dv888 is firmly nestled in the box, viewable on the outside. When you first look at the yo-yo, it looks amazing, and beautiful. It looks simple, but perfect in the same way. Does it play as good as it looks? Product Play- Wow, this yo-yo is perfect all around. The feel is great, and fits in your hand really well. It’s undersized and light, too. It plays so amazing, perfect for any trick you throw at it. It grinds well, (really well) also good for whips, slacks, and lacerations too. It is so smooth, and spins forever. Everything is perfect! Product Specifications (YoYoNation)- Weight- 66.50 g Width- 40.64 mm Diameter- 50.10 mm Gap Width- 5.03 mm Bearing Size- .250 x .500 x .187 in Gap Type- Fixed Stock Response- YYF K-Pad Summary- I really love this yo-yo, as it is one of my favorites. Everything about this yo-yo is amazing! I would definitely recommend this yo-yo to a friend and rate it 10/10. ---
