Of all the plastic yoyos mentioned, which has the widest gap. Most plastic that I’ve seen tend to be narrower, thus usually less spin times for us beginners. This has its good and bad points. I like to learn tricks on my benchmark and perfect them on my classic - it’s not as forgiving and makes we work on technique. I would like a cheap plastic with a nice wide gap.

Would like to note that you’re better off leaving the classic as it is and just buying the speedaholic. It’s still cheaper than most other throws and then you have 2 yoyos. Otherwise you’re buying a bearing and silicone for the classic which makes it great and all but now you don’t have a responsive yoyo if you ever feel like going back.

Dark Magic II. It comes with a replacement bearing to make it unresponsive.
