What yo-yo do you highly suggest that isn’t very expensive, that is good for 4a or 5a, expensive meaning like please maybe under 35$ \>.\<, and good/smooth play?  
My b-day coming up ;D and I wanted to tell ma and da a hint on what they should get me… (that’s how I roll on b-days :P)  
Also, when should I even start playing 4a or 5a, like what lvl of 1a? Intermediate? Advanced?

Well, yea, the Fiesta XX is great too, it’s just that I found the Ashiru Kamui Light to perform better than it, and it’s actually my best offstring throw, it beats my crucial milkshake.

For 5a, I use YYR Diffusion, but that is slightly over your budget.

Almost any yoyo would do for a 5A beginner. as long as it’s got a bit of weight to it (the YYF one wouldn’t be great).

Just grab some [Counter Weights](http://shop.yoyoexpert.com/product/70/Duncan-Counterweight-Set) from a store near you or YYE and go for it. If you don’t want to buy the weights you can just drill a hole into a board game dice and stick that onto a string.

Here is a link to the: [Feista XX](http://shop.yoyoexpert.com/product/418/YYJ-Fiesta-XX)

For a learner though I would suggest [The Go Big](http://shop.yoyoexpert.com/product/509/YYJ-Go-Big). The rubber rims make having it fall to the ground that bit easier so you can try bigger tricks without worrying ‘will my yoyo go off the balcony and shatter’.
