I got a Dove recently and absolutely love the material, and maybe want a different shape so I have 2 options for a grindable plastic edc yoyo. The Severe looks really nice, has anyone tried it? I already have plenty of polycarbonate throws so I’m not really looking for more.

I tried a Severe, I don’t think I really cared for it.
I also second the Thesis Serenade, really nice throw! You also might like the Rebellion Golyat (which is also a machined POM/Delrin throw). It’s quite a large yoyo but it is dead smooth.

Yeah, another suggestion to consider the Serenade. There are cool colors available these days, too, courtesy of @Markmont.

I don’t know much about Pom throws but I did not like the plastic Severe compared to the 2009 or 2010 Severe

Hey, thanks for getting the dove! Like the people on the forum suggested. From alot of POM throws I tried only serenade comes close or matches our dove in terms of quality and playability. I second the thesis serenade.

I actually like the plastic Severe. It performs surprisingly well for a yoyo that doesn’t look like anything wild or special. I would definitely recommend it.
The Serenade is just too dang wide for my tastes. Maybe you will like a yoyo that is nearly 50mm wide but I sure don’t. I have small-ish hands, not monstrous Shaquille O’Neal hands, and so with very few exceptions a yoyo must be under 46mm or I won’t bother with it.

I’m right there with ya on the feel of the material. I love the Severe so much, I have three of them.
YoYoFactory also produced the Regen in this material. It’s a Gentry Stein throw. I’m not nearly as crazy about it as the Severe.

Seems like a bit of a polarizing yoyo lol. How is it at horizontal and grinds?
Metal Severe is Amazing!!
