Best give away, beginner yoyos

[skitrz (⛷ Where's that Snow Weasel!)]

Seems odd, are you certain you know how to throw hard? or do you just hardly throw? (just kiddin lol)

Funny how personal preferences how can be so incredibly strong. My own included. Of course, if you agree with me you’re right thinking and if not I guess that makes you……… something else. Happy Turkey day! (see what I did there? You thought someone had been called a turkey. If you thought like me you wouldn’t have thought that. Shame, shame, shame)

I just do my best to steer as many people away from yoyoing as possible. I pull out my Horizon and throw and then tell them it costs like $60 and doesn’t even come back up and ask them how much luck do they think they’ll have with an even cheaper yoyo? That usually does the trick!

@skitrz

I think sometimes we just over think it. Many times when you give anyone anything, it’s not the thing they find important, it’s just the giving.

So give your time, share your knowledge, give a yoyo!

@zslane

If your only goal is to make a kind gesture, then sure, any old yoyo will do. But if your goal is to identify what will engage someone’s curiosity, maintain their interest, and promote learning, then thinking a little deeper about the yoyo(s) to give to them is worth the effort, I’d say.

The thing is, as long as a yo-yo is playable, the concept of it being limiting, is actually kind of absurd.

Yes! What started me on my yoyo adventure was buying a $3 blue Imperial! I threw it wrong for a week. If I had a coach I would have went unresponsive in a month which means I would have won the Nationals by now but instead I am 3 1/2 years behind. I could have been on a trading card!
