Ok so my family has been very supportive of me getting into the yo-yo hobby and have told me to come up with a list of 5 or so yo-yos for them to choose from. They plan to choose one from the list I give them.
The Price cap is $100 before shipping/taxes, I cannot go over this limit.
Some things about my wants/needs: Most of my experience comes from my 2014 Benchmarks (I have all 4 shapes). My preferred shape is H because it is the most stable (I am still learning so stability is important to me) followed very closely by the W and V as they tend to be decently stable, The O tends to tilt easier if I am sloppy so I do use it regularly to refine tricks I have gotten down with the H/W/V, but I do not want my first high-end throw to be O shaped.
So lets stick to stable/solid throws in the H/W/V shapes, H being preferred but wouldn’t turn down the other shapes if they are stable with decent rim weight.
Some yoyos I am already contemplating adding to my list is the OD Gradient and Irony JPX but I am looking for recommendations of other yoyos that meet this need
UPDATE: My price cap has been increased so I now have more wiggle room when choosing a throw.
About $130 give or take is my limit now.
I have narrowed it down to a list of 10, but I could use some help getting it down to the list of 5 that my family wants. When looking over my list, remember that Stability is my most prized attribute.
[/s]Any help getting this list down to 5 based on my criteria would be greatly appreciated!
edit* there are a lot of cheaper good throws I would like (like the OD Gradient) but since I have such a generous price cap, I would like to use it and get something I might otherwise not get for myself.
I looked at the space cowboy and while it probably plays wonderfully, I really want to get a crazy anno’ed throw since all of my throws are solids at the moment. That’s the main reason it didn’t make it onto my original list.
