I’ve been running with my Onestar for sooooo long, I needed an metal upgrade. My birthday is coming up; however, I already have some money to upgrade. (My budget might change a bit) Anyways, I know some will suggest YYF, and such, but I want something really different. I have been looking at YYO for such a long time, and really want to try the Musket or new Kilter. I’m also thinking if having wider throws will make a difference in my style, and I have been recently looking at the Teleport. Any suggestions will do, and I’m hoping I will find the perfect yoyo
Okay so far, I’ve narrowed it down to these yoyos: YYF CzechPoint, Whimsy YoYo Roar, YYO Musket, & YYO Jaegar, YYO Orbis, Rebellion Acro, Rebellion Butcher
the whimsy roar is probably a really good choice for the price (also whimsy is selling some on sale now for $40 right now which makes them a steal now if you want one) they are very smooth. However since your looking for a wider throw you may want to look at something else since it’s not as wide as some other yoyos on your list.
I recently bought 2 YYO Orbis’ to use at SER. I have to say, best I have used in the $50 range. It does generally come with a tiny vibe, as I have heard is common in most YYO Yo-Yos. But other than that it doesn’t get much better. Just my personal opinion.
I also recommend the new Rebellion series by yoyorecreation. I have heard spectacular things about them.
If you’re still unsure about throws, check out the reviews. People post some great reviews on yo-yos, and that is how I found my way to the Orbis.
I love the Duncan Torque, and I own many 100+ dollar throws.
It just has so much character (keep in mind the design is nearly identical to YYM’s Checkmate, which is much more expensive… the design looks kinda stolen. The cup of the Torque is unique though)
Thanks for the yoyos guys! Keep 'em coming. I really want to treat myself to something special
EDIT: WOOOW. I am blown away by the Rebellion series by YYR! I’ve never heard about it until now thanks to Jonesie and Someone (you guys are awesome ) I love organic shapes the most so Imma put the Acro on the list
Personally, I wouldn’t buy the Teleport. Simply put, it just isn’t all that great. As a novelty, it’s interesting, but as a throw that you’re going to be using all the time I wouldn’t recommend it, not with there being so many other better options out there for the price.
Any of these is a fantastic choice, and I highly doubt you’ll be disappointed with any of them. If all you’re used to is a Onestar, prepare to enjoy a massive performance upgrade with whatever one of these that you choose.
I can’t tell what exactly you are looking for, but I think if you love long spinning, smooth, and all around “able” yoyo, CZPoint is a really good choice. It’s a giant step up from my other yoyos and I love making combos with it because it really flows.
I recommend the Rebellion Butcher, the part where it is manufactured in China is not bad as you think. It has that premium metal feel, dead smooth, it did remind me of a CLYW Avalanche. BTW, how come there’s no CzechPoints here yet?
CzechPoint are initially a Europe only release. We will get the second run I THINK, but I know for certain that it is initially a Europe only release. I seem to recall something about July for YYE release
