From the “Draupnir .vs. Ti Walker” thread:

I was under the impression that the Ti Walker was one of the best yoyos every produced, regardless of material…

I was tempted to pick up a Dazzler at one point, but then I bought a YYF Ricochet and realised that just because a yoyo is made of Titanium doesn’t mean it’s going to be anything special. When I can buy 2 or 3 great yoyos for the same price… I think I’ll pass for now.
