Getting good at a yoyo? only have one from Walmart? Well, Dont get a journey or anything like that! NOOOOOOO! Get a DarkMagic for your first GOOD yoyo. TRUST ME! it will boost your learning by a WHOLE LOT! i got it three months ago and i started as beginner. and now i am geting into expert! You need a X-convict or a Darkmagic. They are amazingly good for beginners to advanced 2, or expert. The darkmagic is fast and enough spin time to learn al those tricks! ---

Umm. Umm. I would have to say this is a pointless topic, honestly. There are a lot of good yoyos out there, and to cover your OPINION, there are lots of topics about beginner yoyos that end in the person getting a Dark Magic. But yes, the Dark Magic is a good yoyo. ---

I went from a Mosquito to a DM, and it was perfect for me. But, I wouldn’t make a post saying it is the best one, because it really is mainly about preferences. Let them figure out what yoyo they want by themselves. Although, the DM probably is one of the best yoyos for learning and more. ;D ---

No offense, but for beginners, I usually recommend a journey, lyn fury, or a speedmaker. These yoyos are responsive unlike the DM, and can be modded later to be unresponsive. (Silicone) ---

I got a totally unresponsive kickside for absolute beginning 'bout 3 months ago. And I’m on the master 2 level tricks. What’s your point? Any yoyo is fine for most, if not all tricks. ---

But later on when they do have preferences they might either have a lyn or a kickside and more people would choose a lyn. Then they have a great plastic with a response they like. Unless you are one of the fewer people who like hybrid over double o. ---

If they get to the point that they find out they don’t like what they have, they can trade. Sorry, I sound like I’m a know-it-all. I’m not. I’m just backing up my opinion on the subject. ---
