And that is a factory half swap. I’ve thought about trying to find a solid to match my splash and make it a half swap.

My yoyojams. Especially the hitman and xcon. I even like the big kahuna, in spite of all the hate its gotten over the years. I have another hitman and a theory coming to fill the empty spots. Yes, I know 4 of these are monkeyfinger, I like those also.

I didnt even mean to vote i never used a DV888. I love the metal drifter though.

Codings anti dv888 thing must have been before I joined the forum cause I dont get the joke. It doesnt look like a bad yoyo

Oh… its a thread from 2018. Is it like the flat bearing fiasco?

i bought one, my kiddo plays it… sort of like a combo of a mighty flea and a wrecking ball, the size-ish of an 888? it’s dangerously fun? funly dangerous? a toothchipperingly capable enough beginner throw?

are these the things running through @codinghorror’s head? are they running through mine? get out of my head @FrankieJR!!!

Haha. Idk i never used it. I did click the link and saw CH had a pic of a dv888 with some pads sticking out making the gap look like as thick as the string lol.

I use an unresponsive DV888 B stock as a banger and it is just fine. For $10 it is a good Yoyo for learning. Good size. No worries if I nick it. Does better than those $10 “newbie” yo-yos.
