I wanna get a plastic because I don’t own one. Which should I get? I’ve used a Whip and liked it a lot, but I’ve heard the Classic is better. Which do you guys prefer? ---

Whip is too light. So I’d go with a classic, a lot of people seem to like it. ---

classic… though i hate o rings… they’re unpredictable and make your string dirty. If you get YYJ pads with it then id say classic ---

Are those two your only options? Alpha crash looks nice. How about proto star and North Star? Out of the two you named, I’d go with the classic. ---

Classic! Just put some silicone pads of flowable in it and put a full sized c bearing and it plays as good as a higher end plastic. Also it sleeps way more! Resembles a burnside imo. ---

Hmmm…I think people really like the classic? So what should I buy to accompany it? YYJ Pads? And have a C sized bearing for it? ---

A pin or tack to remove the o rings, and id recommedned the yoyofactory yellow PRO pads. They last forever and produce nice and tight binds. And yes, have a spare c bearing for it. Youll be impressed! Its also a decent finger grinder for a plastic too! And last but not least, its the smoothest all plastic ive ever thrown. More than the northstar or protostar. ---

More than the northstar or protostar. Sweet! I just ordered the Classic off of YYE minutes ago. I got the Red Body w/ Yellow caps. I already have a C bearing layin around here, I got some pads for it. And my Gnarwhal needed new pads too so I decided to try out the Ir pads…Hopefully they’re worth the money. ---

Just wanted to reaffirm your choice. I’ve played several plastics, and Classic simply cannot be beat for $10 (plus your spare bearing at “no new cost”). You can get “better” plastics for 3-4X the price, but they will not play 3-4X better. ---

I just ordered one jokingly last night, thinking the transaction wouldn’t go through… and it did :🙂 red body/blue caps along with a yyj speed bearing, some yyj silicone, and 6 yye poly string because, why not? Reason Ithought it wouldn’t go through is that Iattempted to order one about a week ago with a $25 gift card and it didn’t go through. Well, I guess it did now :🙂 ---
