The DNA by far, I have played so many high end and low end yoyos, and all of them do not compare to the DNA, it’s a mix of everything someone wants in a yoyo(Except competition shape) ---

But the dienasty, on the other hand… It pretty much gives me everything i wanted of the grind machine. Also, it is very close to dead smooth, and it definitely is smoother then any other plastics ive played. Another mention is Chico yo, such good yoyos that no one talks about! ---

Out of all the yoyos I’ve tried, no one makes better yoyos than General Yo. The reason why is that the Protege’s were for funding Yoyofactory’s Protege Project (junior team). They get enough money and that yoyo was really made specifically or that purchase. Anyways, the Protege is a great undersized. A very desirable shape, great weight distributon, and of course well I just couldnt resist hubstacking. ---

> [@DrAwesome](#): > > Does this count as a necro. I’m not sure but I would like to bring this thread back for a while so. > > Counter attack I agree. Though Im not much of a YYF fanboy, the counter attack gave something the Grind Machine didnt. Weight rings. The Counter Attack was definitely a solid player. My friend used to have one 2 years ago. Played dead smooth and spin times were remarkably long from what I expected. ---

I think a duncan echo I thought meh until I threw it. It was actully a great solid throw. I think its great for its price. This yoyo changed how I look at duncan. They make pretty solid yoyos. ---

> [@slowyojoe](#): > > I just started throwing my H5xChief again. It really is wicked fun. I guess most people are put off by the size, but I think it’s a pleasure. H5xChief is a wonderful throw. I for one LOVED that it was so “different”. There’s something just so fun about hucking this thing around that is so big and stable, yet (kill me now) floaty! I don’t know if I have an “underrated” choice… but I don’t hear people talking about most SPYYs as much as I think they should. :wink: Even the El Ranchero, which has gotten a decent amount of conversation going for a SPYY, hardly ever gets seen in a “recommend me _ **this** _ kind of yoyo” thread where _ **this** _ describes the El Ranchero perfectly! ---
