I am a yoyo player, and I want to step up my game. I can do all the tricks in the beginner and intermediate sections, of this website. I was wondering if it would be better to get a Dark magic, a Legacy or if it doesn’t matter. Please say which you think is better and give me a reason. Please help!! ??? ---

Both are good, but the legacy is cheaper.The DM comes with 2 bearings,1 responsive, and 1 unresponsive large bearing.If price doesnt matter i would get the DM ---

In my opinion, I would get the DM. Mainly because, as you stated already you are pretty skilled with yoyoing, therefore getting the DM would be really useful because it is a beginner to professional yoyo (based on skill level). It provides you with long spin times, big gap for string tricks, great response system and a DAZZLING design! Although this is just my personal opinion… and yours is what really matters! Just look around and read the descriptions… I remember about 9 months ago I was in your same position and it took me about 2 weeks just to pick out a yoyo! Happy Searching and Good Luck with finding a new yoyo that fits your needs! :wink: ---

I am not the one choosing, you are. However, if it were me, I’d pick a neither, because I prefer flush rubber or silicone response on both sides. The dark magic has starburst on one half, and the legacy has those four dimples on both halves. Ones that I might pick are dark magic 2, revolution, new breed, sr-71, hitman (or hitman pro), etc. If I HAD to pick one of those two, I’d pick the dark magic, because it has metal rims. ---

Go for the Dark Magic 2, got the silicone and dual bearings. If you can get the money together go for it. ---

I have both, and they’re both awesome! I personally would go DM Because you cant grind as well with a legacy, but it is more expensive. If you want a decent yoyo for a cheap price, I’d get the Legacy. So Bottom line, I’d suggest the DM. It feels great in your hand and is just the right weight. Good luck 🙂 ---
