Im looking to buy a new Beginner- Intermediate Yo Yo. I have a Pro Z and i haven’t been really impressed. Also the friction stickers is shot after less then a week, so its either buy a friction sticker or a yo yo id enjoy more. Here’s what i’ve been looking at.
I’ve had good experience with the one. Plus, it can go from responsive to unresponsive.carries you a long way, highly recommenend. Heard you have to clean a prelude bearing to make it go unresponsive. Don’t know if your willing to do that as a beginner.
The Prelude comes with the N-bearing(half width C-bearing). Cleaning it will make the yoyo less responsive, but t make it full unresponsive you would need to use a clean SPEC bearing. A beginner should not do this, at least not yet. The ONE is a better beginner throw, yet enough for a challenge for advanced players who want to try with a lighter throw. I recommend many of us to own a ONE.
If you know how to bind I’d recommend an Adegle Asteroid or PSG, or a YYF StarBrite.
If don’t know how to bind I’d have to recommend the YYF ONE. Although I think it has less character than a YYJ it’s the cheapest and easiest to make unresponsive.
