67 or 65.7 grams? That is the only difference between the two. ---

If you want small, get the popstar, if you want big, get the starlite. ---

If this is your first yoyo, I’d say go with the regularly-sized starlite. Larger size helps you successfully land tricks. 32mm width is REALLY small for a string-trick yoyo. You might be able to reshape a glow-in-the-dark yoyo to become undersized, but I don’t know which yoyo to get for that. I’ve heard that freehand zero can be reshaped to 50mm diameter. ---

umm… please don’t suggest beginner yoyos because 1, this will be my ninth yoyo, and 2, i already have the freehand zero and it is very ptttthhhh! If you could ask any questions that would be fine. ---

If it’s your ninth yoyo, why do you need help picking? ---

If you have ever played a Protostar then you will know what the Starlight plays like, just lighter. And FHZ’s are NOT “ptttthhhh” if modded correctly. Hands down one of the best plastics out there IMO. ---

The FHZ I got from Mike is my favorite plastic. As for your dilemma, I would say if you want something different and challenging pick up the POPStar. If you want just a GITD yoyo just pick up the Starlite, the downfall is they look horrible in normal light, this is to be expected from a GITD anything. Personally I don’t care for GITD yoyos, THAT is a novelty if anything can be a novelty. The POPStar is fun though, it just requires a level of precision that many find difficult to give. I honestly am able to officially say that the POPStar is now my Favorite Metal in my collection and I will play it until I find another to take it’s place. ---

I am going to get the popstar if they restock in colors besides pink. Man those things are sold instantly! By the way i flipped a coin earlier today and it was popstar. I bet it will be better anyway. Also it is close to Christmas and my dad doesn’t suggest getting one yet because i don’t know what I’ll get for da holidays. ---

Popstar is way to small. The starlite is one of my favorite plastics besides the replay. The starlite is the exact same northstar. GET IT. ---
