Lyn Fury would probably be the go to yoyo. It’s thick plastic all over for easy reshaping, it’s durable as heck, has an o-ring response groove for easy siliconing, and it’s made of celcon, which is an excellent material for silicone (Silicone comes right out in a perfect ring when you want it to). I don’t know how good celcon is for painting, but it’s great for dying. ---

Largely depends on what kind of mod you’re doing. It’s cheap, which is good, because you’re inevitably going to mess up a serious mod you’ve never done before. On less complicated mods, it’ll handle them just find. Satins, silicone, things of that nature. ---

Best modding yoyo? Easy FHZ, but since your picket and want to stick with YYJ then get a Lyn Fury like everyone els said. ---

More like a “chunk” of plastic with a chunk of dice material. With some rubber response and a Ball bearing. ---

> [@Bcmaddog](#): > > Best modding yoyo? Easy FHZ, but since your picket and want to stick with YYJ then get a Lyn Fury like everyone els said. fhz are harder to finish because the plastic melts. (Unless u have a variable speed dial) the lyn fury is celcon so it kind of shaves off the plastic. Just from my experiences when reshaping them.
