I’m thinking of getting a yoyo for my brothers birthday, he is 17 years old, pretty authistic and fell in love with yoyos recently. I wan’t to get him the best possible for about 25-35$, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I don’t know anything about yoyos, thanks in advance. ---

For that price, get him a Yoyojam Classic. It comes in lots of cool colors, if he has a favorite. You’ll still have enough money left to get a spare bearing and some string. That should last him awhile. ---

For me the YoYoFactory Plastic Grind Machine is always a good choice, it’s built like a tank and even people who can’t throw can have fun holding the hubstacks and ripcord starting. ---

Great idea. And, according to @YoyoFactory Instagram, they will be dropping these new grind machine colors. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/2/6/8/2680ce1642012d7f83006b736245e26c121bb719.png) ---

Can he bind return? If so then I agree with the guys above, the grind machine looks sweet and fun (now I might pick one up myself). If not get him a good old yomega brain. ---

Thanks for your input guys, decited to go with a blue yyf grind machine. I’m sure he will enjoy it. And if a mod could delete this post or however it works, would be really great. Thanks for the help. ---

I like this thread, they should keep it, and maybe move it over to looking for help/recommendation section. Someone else might be looking for similar advice. :wink: ---

Unless it’s recently been changed I thought the Grind Machine came unresponsive which requires bind return. Anyone able to respond if the new ones have the same setup? ---
