PERSONALLY I don’t find Terrapins to be worth the extra money. I would say just try two cheaper bearings for the same or comparable price (i.e. Crucial grove and the OD 10 ball) ---

ive played with both and have been yoyoing for about a year. I would highly recommend the OD10 ball…it is soooo quite! I have a problem with bearing noise as i find it too annoying. The OD10 ball is whisper quite and butter smooth…Also doesnt really need any maintenance apart from the drop of lube here n there. ---

I have played the stainless steel version, and it is really a wonder to play. For me it spins about twice as long as a ten ball and just as smooth. The only thing is that the terrapin x bearing isn’t as reliable as a ten ball. ---

If the wing cut was part of the comparison, that would win me every time. The subtle centering was my favorite feature or Terripin and what the lack thereof is what i dislike most from OD10’s ---

I would say just try two cheaper bearings for the same or comparable price (i.e. Crucial grove and the OD 10 ball) Keep in mind ceramic 10 ball bearings cost a bit more then steel ones but they last 5 times longer. ---
