Might have to go BST route if you want the best Non-V Bi-metal on a budget and just go with the CLYW Gorge; @FourCorner has a nice one [https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/fs-clyw-gorge-yyws-capstan-mowl-m/296820](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/fs-clyw-gorge-yyws-capstan-mowl-m/296820) ---

The only possible way to improve the Hummingbird would be to re-release it in a cherry red (solid) colorway. šŸ˜ ---

I am going to restate the Stealth here to match the original Title of Budget. IMO, the Stealth is the only BUDGET nonV bimetal. Especially when buying used. ---

> [@Sinister\_Yoyos](#): > > Iā€™ve heard great things about the Topyo Dominator. Yeah, probably from me mostly. I seem to be the only one singing its praises. I think thatā€™s probably because at first glance it doesnā€™t look like anything special, and so folks mostly just ignore it. But man, when you play it, you wonā€™t believe how something so light and speedy can have so much stability at the same time. And at $70 it is an absolute steal. ---

> [@zslane](#): > > I seem to be the only one singing its praises. I think thatā€™s probably because at first glance it doesnā€™t look like anything special, and so folks mostly just ignore it. This is probably dumb but the engravingā€”plain-looking text right in the middle of an otherwise clean cupā€”really turns me off for whatever reason. Iā€™ll see the Dominator, go ā€œoh man that looks cool and check out that ano andā€”ā€œ then see the engraving and just close the store tab. MagicYoYo does the same thing on some of their throws. Turned me off to the 6061 Vulfgang until just recently. I should just buy the Dominator at some point. It really does look like something Iā€™d like. Maybe if I find one on the BST or on sale. ---

> [@nonja121](#): > > This is probably dumb but the engravingā€”plain-looking text right in the middle of an otherwise clean cupā€”really turns me off for whatever reason I feel the same way about many yo-yos. An otherwise beautiful design is spoiled by some unattractive and unneeded engraving. I rarely find an engraving improves a yo-yo. ---
