Hey guys! I’ve been doing horizontal play for a while now, and I was wondering what yoyo type is the best for horizontal, and by type, I mean what shape, weight, and size is the best. I personally don’t feel comfortable doing horizontals on my YYR Blink because of the size (still an amazing yoyo!), so I want to know your opinion. Thanks!

Full or over-sized  
You want a little more weight than usual  
If you want to finger-spin then you’ll need the flat sides

Horizon is a great one for under $50 and it can beast fingerspins
