Hey everyone. I am looking for a yoyo that I could possibly get two or three of.
Preferences:
Horizontal capable
Possibly grind capable
Can handle a beating
Finger spins (maybe) can go fast without really needing to be pushed
the speedaholic really struggles with finger spins, they can be done but they must be brief. and I know nothing about horizontal, but it should meet all your criteria, and it’s so cheap you could have money left over for something else too 
I think I narrowed it down to getting a second severe, or two zxlr8s. Thoughts? Also, how is the xlr8 with vibe compared to the severe?
Thumb grind aren’t possible with a surge and grind are not very good cause its to responsive but it’s a good throw and it has taken me from intermediate to advance part 2 but I didn’t try the other ones.
Honestly it sounds to me like you want a rally. It has everything you want.
I like my XLR8 better then the severe and feel that it plays overall better. Ifyou don’t like heavy yoyos the XLR8 could be an issue I don’t find it to be an issue and I like the added heft to it. I just know some disagree with me in that.
Happy hunting and I hope you find something you’re extremely happy with !
YES. BEST PLASTIC EVER. IT PLAYS LIKE A METAL, FOR REALS DOH.
It’s really stable, a little on the fast side, can do all types of grinds, can fingerspin, pretty durable, and it’s a monster at horizontal.
Yeah pretty much this. I have no doubt it could be used to win worlds or nationals if someone good used it.
xlr8s are amazing!! get one!
I think the Severe has less vibe than the XLR8, but I didn’t care for the Severe and I’m perfectly fine with the typical YYJ vibe on my XLR8.
Thanks for all of the responses. I think that I’m gonna go with a second strix.
Good choice. Your initial choices were all unsuitable for your requests.
I ended up ordering two xlr8s
