Hey guys I am looking for a new yoyo. I have a broken Dv888 :(, a yyf shaqlerstar (good throw but not that stable), yyj classic (very good throw :)) , yyj pinnacle(for some reason mine is very unstable), and a yyj go big( good 4a throw but not that wide to catch very easily). I’ll give u an idea of my skill level…I’m currently mastering last 6 tricks on advanced prt 2, I know some expert level tricks like Spirit Bomb, Laceration, all the grinds, can also do Hour Glass 8)(still smoothing most of these out) O_o *just realized I yoyo ALOT considering I’ve only played for about 5 weeks (well… I did yoyo like 4 years ago but I only did walk the dog, rock the baby, etc. XD)…
-Do you know how to bind the yoyo? Yes.
-Do you have a yoyo that you own or played with that you have liked very much? Dv888 (Stock), Shaqlerstar (Stock), yyj Classic (w/ silicone pad+speed bearing)
-Do you have a preferred shape of the yoyo? shape thats stable, long spin time… Hate shape of yyj pinnacle(VERY UNSTABLE)
-Do you have a preferred weight or weight distribution? 63-70 gram range
-Do you have a price range? under $60 (might be able to go less than $80)
-Do you have a certain amount of yoyos narrowed down? Duncan Strix, Duncan Echo, C3 Capless (theres about 13 of them left :P), I’m open to suggestions…
-Do you prefer a certain brand? no
-Are you looking for a yoyo that specializes a style? String tricks, Expert-Master Level Tricks, Horizontal, Horizontal finger grinds, Thumb/Arm Grinds
-Do you prefer a certain response system? Pad Response (CBC, Kpad/YYJ/IrPad silicone, etc.)
-Do you want hubsstacks or z stacks? No
-What trick are you currently working on? last 6 tricks Advanced Part 2+Expert Level+Master Level tricks+Horizontal (I tended to skip around Expert Level + Master Level tricks)
-Do you want a yoyo to Thumb grind or arm grind good? Yes, I love thumb grinds and Horizontal finger grinds.
-What size do you prefer? any size (preferably easy to maneuver in string tricks but any size will do)
P.S.- Why I’m not using dv888? cuz it was my first actual throw in 4 years( its ding city so grinds it are a no go, I was a beginner when i got it (should’ve shelved it till I was better, My best throw 
), There were so many dings it downgraded performance, and oh yeah… today the axle snapped in half when I unscrewed it to take out a knot for some reason , my classic and shaqlerstar couldn’t handle expert and above tricks that well…)
i dont know many hood yoyos in that price range, i think you should check out different brands, but i probably go with the capless. Your best bet is to look at the b/s/t. For $65, you can get almost anything. Im bored, so here’s some you can buy: catalyst(hated it:) you might like it), Burnside ($85 :'(), di base 2 (c3 $55), capless,phenomizm, crucial AYCE, umm, that might be it, I’d go capless,might think about the di base 2, only cuz I love the shape.
