Good review. Most modern yo-yos can take any singular tricks you throw at them, but I kinda felt that Protostars lacked a little when performing combos. They are amazing yo-yos for their price but TAKE GOOD CARE of them! They are very delicate and require the user to pay a lot of attention to their maintenance behaviors. No.1 Rule for Protostars: DO NOT TAKE THEM APART UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NEEDED. They vibe because of the axle off-centering. I have three Protostars and all of them vibe crazy. Apart from vibration and cracking sometimes, they are truly amazing. The best plastic throws that are not made of derlin.
