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. ---

> [@AngryGumball](#): > > Thesis Serenade 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? ---
