I was given a yomega brain, played with it then put it away for a year. found it and got interested in yoyoing. Got a stupid, pathetic, crappy, xodus 2 (sorry) and now i have had my magicyoyo N9 for 3 months. I have had to replace the bearing and responce. I learned my lesson getting cheap asian yoyos. I want to get faster and better at horizontal play. Any brand is fine, my budget is around 50 dollars. I love plastics but i am looking for something for competetion play, maybe the shutter or one of the benchmarks. maybe the torque or the werrd minute. There are so many good yoyos, which one do i want? ---

The Minute is awesome and great at almost everything, BUT-- it’s only in the middle for horizontal performance. ---

Competition level plastics would be the Rally, Addiction or Northstar. As for metals the shutter is a great choice or the CZM8. The level 6 would be the other throw I’d consider if you don’t like the looks of the shutter or czm8. ---

Although i like the rally better, I think I’m aiming for the shutter, more suggestions please. ---

I feel like the Benchmark H does the best for horizontal based on the little horizontal I can do. ---

You can’t go wrong with a YYF Shutter. Bead blasted for grinds, 1 outer and 1 inner IGR, and the V shape and low wall makes it great for horizontal. Also, it’s only $45! I think with the Shutter, you get the most bang for your buck. ---

Also, the YYF Too H.O.T. Prototype is supposed to be really good, but since they’re sold out on yoyoexpert, you can only get them on the b/s/t. The plus is that they are cheap, but sometimes damaged. For example, I have a Too H.O.T. in the mail right now for $25, but just because it was beat. ---

Make sure you do all your research before buying. Make sure that the yoyo you pick is a good fit for your preferences. With all this said, I think a shutter is a good choice. ---

With any of the Benchmarks, you get the ability to customize the weight by switching out the Side Effects! How can you not love that?! ---
