Wouldn’t call those heavy and what style of yoyoing do you prefer? What yo-yos do you currently have? Why do you want another one? Etc ---

Just know a new yoyo isnt going to change that you need to practice and get better, and what do you mean by side style 2a??? 2a is two responsive yoyos doing wraps and loops. ---

I know that much. 1A is what the Uppercut is listed as. I like sidestyle string tricks. My terminology may be off im sorta new. 😅 what i mean by sidestyle is trapeze kind of stuff. ---

if it’s flat and stable then it’s probably not powerful enough. make sure you’re throwing very hard. maybe a video would help us help you not have to spend the money on a new yoyo. a solid throw of mine with the uppercut would be around a minute. ---

The Duncan Barracuda is a very nice 67gr mono yo-yo that plays very fast despite the weight and fits nicely in your budget. I agree that the N12 Shark Honor from MYY is very nice but the Barracuda is a far more capable throw. ---

> [@Nvius](#): > > I’m throwing pretty hard. Not if you’re only getting 20 seconds of spintime. Either that or you need practice with plane control so you’re not burning through your spin too quickly. I throw gentle 90% of the time because I have two torn rotator cuffs—and I only have two shoulders, so that’s all my rotator cuffs 🤪—and I manage way more than 30 seconds when I need to, with just about any yo-yo. ---

I agree with the points above. Technique is the first key to long spin times. Not only getting power into the yo-yo on the throw, but managing plane, avoiding excessive string rub and minimizing hand contact. A heavier yo-yo _can_ make a difference, but there is only so much interference that it can power through. Its also possible to design a heavy yo-yo with weight distribution that really doesn’t provide any extra performance benefit, so beware.
