Wow… ??? ??? ??? ??? ???..stepping up? I thought darkstars played awesome on 3a. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6nSNpDL1xg&feature=youtube\_gdata\_player](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6nSNpDL1xg&feature=youtube_gdata_player) Is it that you dont like the feel or shape of the darkstars so your moving on? Ok. Not trying to bash your decision… Just thought stepping up would be going to darkstars. Cool. Umm ok… oooo… Wonder what 2 code 2’s would look like… Especially in splashes. Hehehe :🙂 ---

As far as I’m concerned, I use a Sleipnir and a Gleipnir ;D I’d go for Gleipnirs as I find 58mm+ yoyos too big for 3A, and they have a very good stability. On the other hand, if you’re not afraid with the size, I think Clashes are slightly better ---

CLYW Avalanches are amazing for 3a, they are extremely stable, without any tilting issues, and have a good catch zone for fun poppy tricks. Otherwise Magaroos are fun for 3a, as well as the Oscillitrix. I very much enjoy the Hazmat and could see that being amazing for 3a, ---
