How is the hitman a begginner yoyo its one of my favorites? And it seems like you already know what you want your just looking for assurance. I owned both and i liked the hitman better but thats just me. ---

YES, I agree with all of the above. JD spec’d the HM for his style, Is he a beginner? My own observation is that the HM is far and above more popular than the BK. I own both and much prefer the HM. I went so far as to trade a guy my BK starburst half for his o-ring half, and the dual o-ring HM still is a better yoyo than an dual o-ring BK. I don’t care much for hybrids, but I will admit that the hybrid HM is a good player as well, though I prefer the dual o-ring version. ---

My Hitman is one of my all time favorites, and if your looking to lower the grab feeling from the yoyojam O rings I just put in a pair of YYF slim pads. They fit into the groove perfectly, but just be sure you got binding down, because it really sits down in the groove. ---

Both are great depending on whether or not you feel like throwing a cheeseburger (referencing the Black Knight’s shape ;D). Seriously though, I really like them both, though I did prefer my Hitman more when I still had it. They’re just different throws for different moods. ---

Perfect as it comes. Lube - makes yoyos responsive. (And mineral oil is relatively thick) ---
