PGM v2, it felt sooooo cheap
It WAS cheap. The v.1's were a lot better.

The Aerobie Aerospin was my first yoyo. I had to frequently search the room for lost washers and O-rings until i finally lost one on vacation in Illinois. Thats when i decided to get a DM. I'm much happier with it Smiley

Velocity v.1, the shuttle response wasn't consistent. I ended taking those out and putting silicone in the recess, pretty nice now.

Shinwoo Phantoms, I'm not saying they're bad but I bought two of them for 3a and if I could go back I'd only pick up one, or add ten more bucks and get a PGM.

I bought a velocity v.1 for a friend but I threw it before I gave it to him. I'm not sure if it was the response or the yoyo or both, but it wasn't a fun throw. It was good and I could do everything with it, but it just wasn't fun to use.

Bought: SvZB, had wayyyyy to much of a "thud" on a throw


They weren't siliconed by CLYW.  The silicone was too recessed for our liking.  That's where the thud comes from.

A long time ago, I saw a yoyo on ebay that I had never seen before but it looked like some sort of metal from Aoda so I got it.

It came and I immediately found it to be quite heavy, and a very bad spacer set-up that made the string slip to one side.

Also I found it was not from Aoda but some other random small chinese toy company.

Over the months, I tried modding that think like crazy and nothing worked.

I spent 8 shipped on the yoyo and about 35 dollars on other stuff trying to mod it.

In the end, I sold it to a guy who actually had lots of experience in modding and had a lathe and whatnot, for 4 shipped.

Lost a bunch of money on that thing.

I am just glad that its out of my life.....

I forgot to mention another yoyo......

I tottaly disliked the freehand v2, and the PGMv2. The PGM, felt to responsive even with K pads and the bearing was a china made bearing, not the normal YYF spec bearing...they went tottaly ghetto on it, and the hubstacks made it worse......most of all not worth 40 bucks....

IDK maybe its me..
