If it’s under $80 and I like it, that’s good enough.

Really, most yoyos are gonna be great. At around $80, you shouldn’t have any issues. Plus, you said “best” and as you know, there is no best, it’s all “what turns out to be best for you”. Satisfaction with yoyos is a highly subjective issue.

Why not mention a few models you are interested in buying, along with preferences and anything you’re interested in and people can perhaps guide you to what will hopefully by a good fit.

I couldn’t have said it better. _Sniff_

Honestly, $80 is an odd number. Most yoyo’s I’ve seen run up to about $60, and then they jump to $80+

Anything metal under $80 makes me smile ;D Using my hybrid beater for trying new tricks just doesn’t do yoyo’ing justice for me. I’ve come to understand the better built hybrids from like 40-50 bucks are very good. My brother has been throwing a YYJ Inspire and a friend of mine has been throwing a Dv888. Maybe I’ll just list things I’ve seen around and liked. :wink:

C3 Token  
YYJ Inspire  
Dv888  
888 (\<— 20 bucks more, I mean, why not.)

I’ve been really interested in trying out a delrin yoyo (Halo is under 80 bucks) because the basic plastics I’ve used are just not cutting it in that area.
