I like the feel of the regular Speedaholic, but when I was first going through the responsive section of the trick ladder, I found it too responsive for my skills. I could never land a complete braintwister even (with a loop at the end). I don’t remember if I tried thinner string or anything. At that point I probably just used whatever it came with. I haven’t picked it up in a while to see how it works for me now, but my memory was that the Whip worked much better. The unresponsive XX version is a fine yo-yo though. My cry for help went unanswered when I got to Ripcord: > [@Can anyone pull off Ripcord on responsive Speedaholic?](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/can-anyone-pull-off-ripcord-on-responsive-speedaholic/338457): > > I’ve been working my way through the trick list. Usually I’ll try on an unresponsive yoyo until I get the hang of it and then try it on a responsive one (usually the YYF Whip, Speedaholic or First Base). I just got the ripcord going on the First Base, but when I try it on the responsive Speedaholic, it just grabs string and fails. Anyone get it to work on that yoyo? --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/best-plastic-responsive-beginner-yoyos-for-2021/346300)._
