Okay, question from someone who hasn't touched a YoYo in like a decade. If I wanted a quality YoYo at a reasonable price, should I even give this a second glance or are there better "starter" YoYos that aren't cheap plastic ones that make me angry?
DynamiklolI got a Yoyofactory Velocity a few years ago ,,, the newer version , and its been a great reintroduction to yoyos....
It has hubs you can loosen or tighten depending on how tight you want a return or not at all depending on how your using it. Its inexpensive but not cheap , the polymer is tough stuff and pretty sure it has ball bearings and a sticky pad for the return.
There might be better starter yoyos on the market since then ....
I dig yoyos but not 100$ worth at least not at the moment cool yoyo though
DynamiklolYeah I'd have to agree with BrendanWelsh something like a Magic N12 is probably a better place for you to start out at. Its not cheap but yet its no where near $100 at the same time yet its still a decent piece.
Dynamiklolive been yoyoing for a while if you want a nice yoyo at a nice price and give you a fresh new start i recommend the dark magic 2 http://shop.yoyoexpert.com/product/4/yyj-dark-magic if you want to get into the fun string tricks that you see in all of those videos.
DrSkyedI feel like the DMII is kinda overrated. It has high walls, and is a little heavy. I feel far more comfortable recommending the YYJ Classic+ upgrade kit. For half the price they can get a yoyo with low walls and a lighter weight.
DynamiklolIf you know how to bind and are ready for an unresponsive yoyo, the summit is an awesome throw. If you just said to yourself: "Whats a bind?", you should look for a responsive yoyo (one that comes back when you pull it).
If you want a metal reponsive yoyo heres one many would reccomend:
dv888 responsive editiom

You can even upgrade it to become unresponsive with the included larger bearing.
Happy throwing. If you want more info feel free to ask!

HubbaMaBubbaThese days, I don't see a problem with it at all. Plastics have there place but in the current market you can get a metal at an entry level price that beats the pants off of any plastics.
It has hubs you can loosen or tighten depending on how tight you want a return or not at all depending on how your using it. Its inexpensive but not cheap , the polymer is tough stuff and pretty sure it has ball bearings and a sticky pad for the return.
