I have the deepstate, the OG alleycat, and the 650b. I heavily prefer the allycats over the deepstate, but I generally to fixed axle style tricks on them. Right now I use half OG and half 650b (in the same yoyo because yes).
The semi-responsive feel of the deepstate just didn’t click for me. You definitely have more freedom for spinning string tricks, but getting into stalled tricks just felt strange.
