They are fun. The weight distribution is different than the Deep State as it is a hallow body. It also comes with a full size bearing so it can be played unresponsive which is how I have mine set up. Great pocket daily type of throw. ---

It’s WAY different than the deepstate. The only thing they have in common is that they are both yoyos, and use a C bearing. That said, the Sherpa is a really nice yoyo. ---

Sherpa is cool. Neat hollow body design. I like it better as a responsive yoyo than unresponsive, where I think it’s pretty “meh”. That said, there are other similarly priced responsive yoyos that I like better. All in all, not a bad throw. But I don’t like it as much as I had thought I might when it first came out. ---

As others have said…it’s completely different than the Deep State and I wouldn’t compare the 2 of them. I can’t really add anything as I’m not real experienced with it responsive or unresponsive…but I do like it and it is fun to toss around. And as far as I know…this is the best time to get your hands on one. $30 is a good deal for this…and if you’ve got the money…I think the $70 Navigator + a free Sherpa in the color of your choice is an absolute steal of a deal! ---

Wait, how do you do the free Sherpa thing? Is it just a navigator or can it be any basecamp yoyo? ---

Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale. When you add the Navigator to your cart, if the sale is still on, you will be prompted to choose a color for the Sherpa. ---

How responsive was the sherpa out of the box? I just got mine and I had to double the string over the bearing to get it responsive. ---

Fully unresponsive…it came with the slim bearing installed, but even still it takes a bind to return…tug as I may. Needs some thick lube. ---
