Incorrect. Both are very stable. The Genesis is big and H-shape, the DV888 is small and flat rimmed. You’ll have to go with the one you like more. ---

I reccomend the DV888, because I really like its shape. Also if you like small yoyos then get the DV888. Personally I just think that the Genesis has such a wierd shape. Trust me, you cant go wrong with a DV888. Although the DV888 is out of stock, so if you can’t wait they go right ahead and get the Genesis. ---

Just because you don’t like something about the Genesis doesn’t mean that he should get the DV888, or vice versa. ---

He means that not everyone likes the same yoyo’s. Everyone is different. You may hate the DV888 or you may love it. Its totally up to you. I can make both yoyo’s perform the same tricks with no problems. ---

Well they’re both great yoyos. DV888 is somewhat small with flat rims. Genesis is pretty large and H-shape. ---

It’s different for everyone. Some people would say the Genesis is bad because it is big and H-shape, and others would say the DV888 is bad because it is small with flat rims. This is just because they are different. ---

the genesis’ cons are its silicone pads fall out after 2 or 3 days of play so it forces you to eventually buy grind machine sized k pads or silicone recess it im not saying this is definately going to happen but this is what happened to me and 2 of my friends [Next page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/what-should-i-get/8998.md?page=2)
