So I recently got a yyj legacy and I decided to do a review on it. ``` The Legacy is a great yoyo. The play is great, It's unresponsive, It's smooth, It's just awesome. If you're not ready for a high priced metal yoyo, or you just don't have the money to buy a metal, the Legacy is the way to go. The Legacy is an average sized yoyo. It feels really great in your hand. It's got pretty good spin times, it spins about 2 minutes. When it comes to grinding, it's not the best, but It's okay. I can arm grind with the Legacy, but it's not that good at it. Obviously you can't thumb grind with it. It plays really great on the string. It has a pretty nice sized gap. The overall appearance of the yoyo is pretty good, it looks nice, I have it in black and it looks pretty cool. Here are the overall ratings for the yoyo. ``` Spin Time: 7/10 Grinds: 4/10 Play on the string: 9/10 Overall Rating: 8/10 In conclusion, this yoyo is awesome, and best of all, the amazing price of $22.50. What a great yoyo, I use it all the time, I’d totally recommend it. 🙂 ;D ---

Great yoyo FOR THE PRICE??? It’s a great yoyo, even if it were $50! You need to cross out “for the price” ---

My own impression is that the legacy is ok, but it feels too heavy to me. I’ve tried removing the weight rings to put in something a bit lighter w/o success. I don’t totally dislike the way it plays, but I think a lighter version would play better for me. ---

Can you put o rings in the Legacy? I wanna know because i’ve gotten really tired of waiting a whole day between silconing it and when it dries. ---

If you mean the kind like on the Lyn Fury, no. The recess isn’t deep enough. If you mean thin, flat silicone o rings, then yes. ---

If you mean the kind like on the Lyn Fury, no. The recess isn’t deep enough. If you mean thin, flat silicone o rings, then yes. Well, I don’t know what to say. I put the o-rings from a journey in and they looked ok to me. ---

If you mean the kind like on the Lyn Fury, no. The recess isn’t deep enough. If you mean thin, flat silicone o rings, then yes. No, you can put both rubber and silicone o rings in the Legacy. The rubber o-rings that are in the Lyn Fury are not too big, they are supposed to protrude out of the recess. ---
