Which would you go for? Explain why. I really dig the new splash CZM8, but YYO’s colors are so beautiful. Looks aside which would you choose. ---

No idea how any of them play. But i own a Hatchet, and it impresses me alot. I would go Lava for fun and CZM8 for competition. ---

Lava is also great competition throw 🙂 Main difference between them is weight, Lava is really light and nimble. CZM8 on other hand feels imho really heavy on play. ---

^Nice! @Bina. Which CZM8 did you play? The prototypes or the production model. ---

> [@GoCrazyForYoyo](#): > > How do they play? Love my CZM8. It’s a pretty rounded throw – by that I mean it has a little speed, a little float, and is quite stable. It doesn’t have a ton of character, but it’s still fun to throw. – basepi ---

You really can’t go wrong with either. The CZM8 has a great shape, feel and spins a long time. Didn’t expect much from the Lava, got it on impulse due to colors. It may be the honeymoon effect, but I find myself reaching for my Lava more than my other throws. Spin times are great…super smooth! With a $5 difference between the two, it is a hard choice. I would personally pick the Lava. ---

This is difficult. :wink: May go with YYO, just because I haven’t tried them. How’s their quality? ---

I’ve personally never played the lava, but it looks like an awesome throw. yyo definitely make some really great throws for the price. the lava looks like a real solid competitor and I really wouldn’t mind getting one myself here really soon! let us know what you end up going with! 🙂
