I think folks are a little too stuck on the N12. They neglect to look at the Y01, which is an improvement over the N12 in small, subtle ways. And the two yoyos are pretty much the same price. It is sort of a shame that everyone has become so dazzled/blinded by the price-performance ratio of the N12, that they canā€™t see it has been surpassed by the Y01. ---

$15 for solid colors on Amazon. That makes it, what, about $2-3 more than an N12? ---

Well, I have never owned or played a Y01, so you very well could be correct! The N12 is still a killer deal though, there is nothing really wring with the over-all design. It is stable, long [enough] spinning, doesnā€™t feel like a rock, smooth finish, etc. Is it spectacular? No. Is it a great value? Absolutely- _especially_ for a n00b. And Iā€™m sure the Y01 is too! ---

I hear you. I sorta feel like MagicYoyo has become a victim of their own success here. The N12 has acquired this reputation that is becoming accepted lore, and so hardly anyone takes notice of the Y01, despite it basically being an ā€œimproved N12ā€. The N12 isnā€™t alone though. I feel that the Shutter and WA Shutter are somewhat similar in this respect, and I suspect that the same thing will happen (is happening?) with the Cadence and the Cadence ES. ---

At least the Cadence ES and Shutter Wide Angle have an obvious name relationship with the model they ā€œupgradeā€. How would anyone possibly know the Y01 is an improvement on the N12? ---

Fair point! To be honest, I donā€™t understand the naming conventions for yoyos. The only rule I can discern is, ā€œPick a random word that sounds cool.ā€ A few companies try to remain faithful to a theme (like 2sickā€™s chess theme, or CLYWā€™s outdoorsy theme). But most just pick random words that nobody has used before, and that sometimes extends to the ā€œupdateā€ to a previous model (e.g., Valor ā†’ VTWO). ---

I ended up doing a related trick, ā€œBounce Off Groundā€, many times in my first few months of getting into 1A. Itā€™s actually not nearly as fun as it sounds. Especially not for the yoyo. ---
