Zack likes plain circii, in fact seems to prefer them with chipped hubs...

I have no idea why MRb bothered changing from gen 2 to 3 since gen 2 rocked

Every time I use circii I'm tempted to go back to them, mine have pom hubs but I have a sneaking suspicion that JC's narrow hubs would be the way forward for me. Pity about the colours and how dirty they get.

I quite like Suns but would like the latest ones as I prefer lighter diabs. The Suns Nev had at the BJC with teflon hubs were so nice.

The diabolos that seem to be my favourite at the moment are my Taibolo MK1's, Angela sent me some gen 2 washers (thanks Angela) so I'm going to get those on and see how they feel. (been using plastic fly washers for a good while)

I try quite a few diabs, mainly because I like having a little collection, but I always find myself going back to circi, for me they are about the perfect weight, I don't see how people think they look uglier than a finesse but I guess its all about what you like!

I've always been about the Henrys Circus All-round hubs. They've always achieved whatever I've wanted from a diabolo though I've not had the chance to really give the new version Suns and Flys with all of their mods.

I think I'll stick with the Circuses because I've found hubs that I like, the cups that I like and I've never wanted for more. Perhaps should my circumstances change over this long year, I might change my vote. I have often found a need for bearings for some of my "tricks" to work, but then I think I should just create some actual tricks.

Its all about the circus....

....who actually voted for the duncan diabolo? I had the displeasure of using one yesterday, it was truely dreadful.

Duncan · « **Reply #24 on:** January 03, 2009, 01:08:31 PM »

Might as well add my two cents here.

I've tried quite a few, and I'm still a big fan of stock Suns. I've tried them with plastic washers and they feel like air to me. Stock Suns are the perfect diabolo for me.

kurrygrodan · « **Reply #25 on:** January 03, 2009, 03:48:46 PM »

I love suns with metal washers, that rules the whole world!

William · « **Reply #26 on:** January 03, 2009, 11:46:33 PM »

I added a vote (wide fixed fly) then removed it because I'm going to get some allround kits for my circus soon. I'd try JCs too if it wasn't so expensive to get them here..

Alex! · « **Reply #27 on:** January 04, 2009, 12:22:56 AM »

Yeah I agree, finesse are the best

Eric Moffett · « **Reply #28 on:** January 04, 2009, 01:02:23 AM »

I voted Finesse again, next year maybe you can just put "any circus diabolo" and "any finesse diabolo" or something, then tell the noobs who go "where there a section for circus with xxxx axle???" stupid =b

Ben. · « **Reply #29 on:** January 04, 2009, 01:26:31 AM »

yeah, tbh it is about the diabolo not the axle with it. the fact that the diabolo has all of the modding opportunities just gives it more reason to vote for it?

monkiatzu · « **Reply #30 on:** January 04, 2009, 02:34:42 AM »

hang on!
someone voted for other..
what could this diabolo be???
if its voted better than finesse and sundia diabolos, it must be pretty good?

fzzyrn · « **Reply #31 on:** January 04, 2009, 07:05:12 AM »

probably somebody who had one of the above with some add on kit of some kind....

but i'd like to think that somebody had a super duper hybrid tia-fin-sun-fly-cus.

Funty · « **Reply #32 on:** January 04, 2009, 09:56:23 AM »

I'd like to add that the circus is the Ray Mears of the diabolo world. It looks a bit rough but he could kick Bear Grills (finnesse if you like?) head in. Also the ladies love him.

If you disagree (with this slightly pointless statement) then you're wrong.

TAIBOLOS ftw

Myke · « **Reply #35 on:** January 05, 2009, 07:43:54 PM »

I simply love fly's...

Diabolo88 · « **Reply #36 on:** January 06, 2009, 03:32:44 AM »

Put in my vote for Diabigs again...apparently I´m the only one

.

Tried many new diabolos (but not all) and settings for them but still still nothing quite touches a nice, heavy, old type Diabig for me. Maybe with carbon-axles and weights a wide fly would but have yet to try that.

Calling the Diabigs "Yoho" like in the poll is borderline blasphemy though. The true Diabigs are Bandai, Yohos are inferior

Although Bandai Diabigs are no longer manufactured, no? And even Bandai Diabigs still have Yoho printed on them, correct? I'd still love to get a set of Bandai Diabigs, but I didn't think they were made anymore.

nev · « **Reply #38 on:** January 06, 2009, 10:08:13 AM »

The Bandai version stopped production in about 2005. I dont think the true Bandai's ever had "yoho" on them - they had "Hyper Diabolo DIABIG" on the cups and plain washers (or at least mine do). The AUS made Yoho's are not even close to the Japanese version in terms of quality IMHO.

My favorite diabolo is the original Sun cups with Plastic washers and black alu teflon axles - 260g.
The closest stock diabolo is the 255g Sun so that got my vote over the original Sun.
