Ello there, was wondering if anyone had any good 2A suggestions for a beginner. Been looking around and right now the YoyoFactory 720 is looking decent, but I was hoping for something with a W shape? I believe that’s what it’s called? As right now I’ve been working with a really cheap yoyo from Walmart and it works sure but I don’t like the shape at all

Hornets, 720 and seekers/initiators are solid choices for looping
Cheaper alternatives that are still decent are myy d3, (d1 is a bit heavy but can be fine too) , blitzballs (dragon or wind balls too), and in a pinch yyf go with sunrise guts
Generally fireballs and raiders are dated and need modding to play modern
The yyf classic is kind of the shake I think you looking for I have no experience with it though.
There are lots of other either premium or off brand options or stuff that’s no longer in circulation and can only be found via BST like yyj loopers
My preferred loopers are something lp or paranoia but those are overkill and in a pinch I would recommend seekers as a solid choice myself

W shape isn’t going to be ideal for a looping yoyo so you don’t see those things together much. Captrogers has good suggestions for loopers. If you want something with more of a catch zone for string tricks, I recommend a butterfly XT by duncan. Works well for starting to learn string tricks and can definitely still loop but requires a bit more finesse.
