So I’m having trouble deciding which one would be better overall. I have been yoyoing for a few years now. I have played with the YYF Velocity and later moved on the to Dv888, both of which I loved. However I feel as though I need an upgrade to improve from where I am at. I can perform almost all of the tricks in the yoyoexpert tutorials. I have not learned to do any horizontal tricks though. So my questions is, what should I buy? I am currently leaning towards the Aviator 2 with the red/black/silver acid paint. Is it worth the extra $22 (that is including the acid paint) to get the Aviator 2 rather than the Shutter? Is there a better yo-yo that I should look into buying instead of these two?? ---

There are so many awesome budget throws around nowadays . If you have narrowed your choices to the shutter and the AII, I would choose the AII over the shutter but that is personal preverance From my personal experience I find the shutter somewhat more stable than the AII But the AII has Some more feeling than the shutter. But both are really solid Yoyo’s
