I Have about 115 Dollars, and im looking into the Blossom by Yoyo Officer. I’m guessing this one is a pretty new yoyo, considering the complete lack of reviews on it. I really like the looks of it, but I’m a bit sceptic on the performance. I do have a shutter at the moment, but need a new bearing and response pads, so im limiting my budget to about 75 usd. If anyone has any other alternatives, I’m looking for an unresponsive, bi/mono metal yoyo that performs well (and probably looks good too), as I’m expanding my very small collection of two yoyos.

Thanks, Cet\_

Any Topyo throws are good. They play well above their price too.

Blossom plays great and visually really neat.

Have you looked at ALTA at all?

I really have been enjoying it over past few weeks.

Raiser also came out impressively solid:

Marco is neat too but very wide:
