With the Yeti release and the crazy yeti hype, I wanted to hear some opinions on the yeti compared to the rally. I missed the first Yeti sighting and started comparing the two. Yeti pros Is in much higher demand Higher trade value and second-hand value Hand tuned Unique Yeti cons Can’t take it apart without vibe Potential bearing seat issues Potential string wear issues Generally high maintanace Hard to get Stuck spacers and bearing Rally pros Really smooth Pretty easy to find Hand tuned Unique Rally cons Doesn’t really gain any value I’ve heard issues about the rally pressure cracking I’ll add more traits to either list of I think of any. Or if you think of any, let me know. I haven’t played a yeti, and I haven’t extensively played a rally, so this is all coming from what I’ve heard around the forums. ---

The Rally doesn’t have those awful spacers. ---

The cracks were only an issue on the first run rally for me. And I don’t consider it’s lack of appreciation to be a negative. ---

Yeti -way more hype (i like it, but its not the best yoyo ever as some people are treating it IMO) -yyf spacers…the only thing i remotely dislike about yoyofactory -WAY more solid feeling, for more laid back trix -a few flaws in the design (still a great yoyo thoa!!! ;)) -made in canada -injection molded -people overprice them when selling. don’t deny it. 😛 -everyones favorite yoyo (im joking but people do like it a LOT) Rally -aluminum weight rings -faster playing -mine cracked ( i heard that others from the first run were like this too tho but still :() -made in murica -machined -gambits favorite yoyo all in all, they are both awesome yoyos with different characteristics, so arguing about which one is better is pointless. (this has happened in the past…pretty annoying if you ask me) ---

I got a purple yeti, the area between the spacer and the response cracked. So chris said send it back they would fix it. (not cheap by the way) Came back, the other side was cracked in the same place. ☹ Its a nice throw but those cracks make for a odd vibe on the string that makes me think the pad has came loose. So I don’t play it anymore. chris was nice enough to just let me keep it and refund my money. ---

I have owned both, and they are both yoyos I would pay full retail for. Yeti is super chill and a fun machine, while he rally is fast and technical, both equally capable of the same tricks, just feeling different on the string. In other words, get both as you can, they are worth it (Pro tip)the yeti’s “problems” are nonexistent if you are over 12 and can maintain a yoyo ---

> [@gijoey959](#): > > (Pro tip)the yeti’s “problems” are nonexistent if you are over 12 and can maintain a yoyo I’m over 12 and can maintain a yoyo fairly well. If I owned a yeti, would there be constant problems? Probably not, because if you fix a problem it shouldn’t reoccur. So yes, if you can maintain the yeti well, you won’t really have any issues. This doesn’t mean that the yeti isn’t high maintenance. You can clean and lube bearings every once and a while with most other yoyos; or you can use string picks, tune the yoyo, deal with stuck spacers, and clean and lube bearings as normal with something like a yeti or other yoyos like it.
