Yes, Evan, you are right a little, but this is nowhere near that "No yoyo is better than the other" post. This is a short paragraph on how players don't need to have the best to be the best.

It is a lot like it.

 This is saying that a Metal yo-yo isn't better than a cheaper yo-yo or a plastic.

"This is saying that a metal yo-yo isn't better than a cheaper yo-yo or a plastic." Quote from Evan.

Yes. Not all metals are better than semi-metals or plastics. Take the Metal Zero for an example. The response is bad, and it wears out quick. Not many people like Friction stickers. You can get a Legacy for about $10 less and have a better time playing with it, and have a better response than the other.

Don't confuse me here. Leave the subject alone. All I'm trying to say is you don't need to have the best to be the best. Leave it at that.

Leave it at that.
I'm afraid I cannot. You chose to spring up a debate, so I shall continue.

Before I begin, note that this is not a flame war, and simply a debate. This topic is purely out of our opinions, and in no way will we get out of hand. Our posts show that we respect each other and that we are acting maturely.

Now I am going to get started:

"It has Titanium rims, good luck dinging it." Quote from Samad.

You can always scratch it.
Scratches can easily be buffed out. My friend Sumna assures me this, as he does have a C22. He also assures me that he feels it was definitely worth it as well. Also, we were talking about dings, NOT scratches. That is how I brought up my initial argument. Its titanium, so it would be hard to ding it. In no way did I bring up scratching. Also, if you are heartbroken over a tiny scratch, you need to really stop for a minute and think about how ridiculous you are.

Lets keep going:

Well, the play might me amazing, but the weight of that thing would feel like a truck on string. You can get just as good of a player from an Alchemy CUlater or a CU. There are many other brands out there that can deliver that amount of play for less price. Nobody needs gold-dipped titanium rims and black annodized rims. Come on, I'd rather a Milk.

You're joking, right? That sentence alone lets me know you don't know what you are talking about on the subject of the Catch 22. If 67.50 grams is a truck on a string to you, then you must have pretty puny arms, dude.

You may rather have a milk, but remember: Its all about personal preference. I hate Milks, and I would definitely take a C22 over it.

Okay - I'm done. Continue this debate if you must.

true you dont have to have the best yoyos to be the best but that does not mean expensive yoyos arent awesome, sure most pros can do all there tricks on a stock FHZ but does that mean that they dont need an expensive yoyo? no. high end metal yoyos play completely different from cheaper plastic yoyos, they feel nicer on the string and there is a lot more possibilities with them.

also, the thing about the catch 22. the catch 22 is probably one of the best playing yoyos i have ever played, it might have a bit of weight in it but it feels much lighter when on the string and it is extremely smooth. also since when are the rims gold dipped? it has aluminum black BBd body and raw titanium rims .

so in the end you might think all of that is not necessary and it isn't but its like saying buying $300 gold clubs for golf is not worth it when you can do the same on some cheaper club.

No, its just the looks that looked like a truck because titanium is heavy.

And, not about this, why don't you like Milk's? Like, whats bad about them, the bearing cave-in?

I didn't really mean to start a debate on this, guys. Sorry. I just tried to make a statement of not needing to have the best for the best.

Looks can be deceiving. Thats why specifications are more accurate.

And I just hated the vibe from the Milks. I never played a tuned one, so I guess I'm biased.

Anyway, I'm stopping the debate now. I don't want another Spencer to leave YYE, haha.

Thanks, Samad. I was wondering about Fools Gold. Whoever made the idea had a name after them. "FOOLS Gold." Notice it word FOOL.

Fools means it is not real gold, a "Fake" gold.

 Gold mining is from Canada and such (Minnesota) that fits in their theme, the Caribou Lodge and such.
