Why?

Why don’t you want to do 5a? Ever tried it? It’s very fun.

I was buying the BOSS but the black one is not available in the yoyoexpert store. And I bought the ENEME just because of the shape of it. Its cool looking. 🙂

I don’t have a DM, but I do have a Legacy, which is very similar in shape and weight. If you like your DM, I’d recommend picking up a Legacy, which is only $22.50 (US) and can do any trick that a $120 metal can.

If you want to try a metal, I would HIGHLY recommend the CLYW CampFire. It’s like a mini, bead-blasted DM/Legacy/Peak. They all have similar shapes… It really is a great yoyo though. It’s dead smooth, spins forever, plays like a dream, and grinds as well as any yoyo out there, at least.

You made a great decision! The string will last you months, the counterweight will let you experience some 5A, the yoyo holder is great if you walk around with a yoyo in your pocket, then lube is always helpful, and the yoyo is a great throw.

But yeah, its a great yoyo but you have to be good at binding, and its small, but make sure you buy a lot of string, i have only had it for a day and it went flying off and almost broke a window 🙂
