So I just started to play unresponsive and wish to purchase a new yoyo for my birthday(my first is the yoyofactory D10 that came out of the world’s mystery box) can’t decide between the Space Cadet, Superstar, Edge, Shutter(I have a fondness for Yoyofactory, been using them since F.A.S.T. 201) or a Duncan Grasshopper. Thoughts? ---

I would recommend getting a few budget yoyos since you just started unresponsive. Get like a Toohot and a shutter or something like that. That way you can try more, different yoyos. ---

Do the various shapes and metals makes that big of a difference player to player? ---

> [@nightshadow](#): > > I just visited yoyofactory world headquarters and got to try a bunch of their stuff. > > Go with a space cadet I agree that the space cadet is extremely nice, but as a beginner unresponsive player wouldn’t he get more of an experience trying out a lot of different yoyos? This letting him find a preferred shape, weight, brand, different features he likes and so on. He could get 2, possibly 3 (if one was real cheap or all three were around $33 dollars) for the price of one space cadet. This is just my personal opinion though. ---
