I think i’m ready for a better yoyo. I currently have a PHENOMizm and was thinking of getting the PHENOM. Would that be a good choice and how much better is it than the phenomizm because both are listed under intermediate section in the shop here or are there some better choices. ---

Depends on your preference. Size, weight, etc. But imo anything from Onedrop or CLYW is win. ---

The Phenom is quite similar to the Phenomizm in terms of shape and performance. Maybe branch out a bit and try something a little different. In that price range, I’d take a Werrd Irony JP or your pick of CLYW. Yuki ---

They each have their pros and cons. Irony JP is my favourite because it’s essentially a Japanese throw for a little over half the price and it’s also made of the more durable 7075 aluminium. The CODE 2 has the flexibility of side effects which allow you to change the feel of the yoyo depending on your preference and mood. Last but not least, the Arctic Circle is a fun beefier throw. Very floaty. All great throws in their own right and there’s really no bad choice here. Just depends on your preferences and what you’re looking for. Yuki ---

I have the Phenomizm and I don’t like it at all and I’ve heard the phenom is much better. If you want to spend that kind of money though, I’d get a good clyw yoyo ---

Generally speaking, they’re higher quality, buttery smooth and stable but still very zippy. Also held to impossibly high quality control standards which is why they occupy the $200-ish price range. Yuki ---

I’m not sure which to get. I was thinking of the Arctic Circle or the Irony JP. Can someone list pros and cons of each? Also, how are yoyojoker’s yoyos? ---

Would that be a good choice and how much better is it than the phenomizm because both are listed under intermediate section in the shop here or are there some better choices. the phenomize and phenom throw very similar…i have both and my first thought was damn theyre fast!!. to be honest, I do think the phenom is overpriced If youre looking for a throw that is INCREDIBLE for the price…I promise you that you cant go wrong with a c3yo capless. Its probably the smoothest throw I have, its amazing. Also the genesis and superstar are always a good choice:)
