Good choice. I think all the magic yoyos are good… I wish the idea of “buy what looks cool to you” was more widely spread ---

> [@Bcmaddog](#): > > Bootleg -\_- I’d be jealous too if I spent 3x more on inferior yoyos. Just got a T8, this thing has some ridiculous rim weight! - for super long flowy combos - for string hops inside a mount (bucket hop, black hops etc) - if you like weighty feel - string burns (I have cheap string) if you go too fast - bad bind will wreck knuckles 57mm diam 36mm width 70g It’s a narrow Genesis with more weighty feel. I like whips on it because the you can really feel the yoyo in the air. ---

I guess if YYE doesn’t stock it, we can say where we ordered from… In that case… Last night i ordered a n12 off ebay for 14 shipped ---

I rate it better than the T5, which is my second favourite throw. The N12 just feels like a really solid/expensive yoyo when you hold it and it plays exceptionally too! I prefer the blue response pads (more consistent binds) and the slightly smoother feel, but i reckon some will still prefer the t5 due to its slightly smaller size (i myself sometimes hit the wrong string or two strings instead of one on some tricks, but then again i’m not all that good a player!). I think (might be wrong) the only difference with the spingear t5 is that they use the newer, blue response pads -there is a czech/european site which stocks them, but i’m not sure about how reliable the sellers are so i’m not risking it at the moment. ---

> [@Bcmaddog](#): > > Bootleg -\_- They’re actually not bootleg. There are site’s based in the US that sell them. They do have a few throws that are strikingly similar to others (ie: t5 vs yyr) but they’re actually not the same if you look at the specs. > [@SkyHighYo](#): > > I guess if YYE doesn’t stock it, we can say where we ordered from… > > In that case… Last night i ordered a n12 off ebay for 14 shipped I think they’re fine with people talking about ebay. You can even link to an ebay auction. But for the most part, even if they don’t stock a specific yoyo, you shouldn’t mention other yoyo stores. I think it says something about that in their forum rules. ---

Magicyoyo is slowly gaining my respect as they are starting to make some more original designs. Im not saying their previous designs werent original but I did see and feel some rather big similarities to other yoyos they look and play like. But I do like to support USA companies more than Magic yoyo, quite obviously because I like to support my country. ---

Sigh, this blows… I e-mailed then asking if they’d sell me 5 of them for $75. I just got the cash to do the MagicYoYo give-away. I really wanted to give-away N12’s, but I might have to settle for T5’s 😕 ---
