Hey, I want to get my cousin a yo-yo! He has the civility and the replay pro and I was wondering if you guys could give me a recommendation for a good Metal, Unresponsive, 1a and under $30 yo-yo.
I have a few in mind but I wanted to see what you think.
Thanks, MJ

I personally think it would be better to get them an Aoe because they are really high quality unresponsive yo-yo’s even though it is plastic. I dont have any METAL yo-yos under 30$ but I found this one on Yo-yo tricks called Origen Yoyo that may work.

Colossus VI Max is 31 and it’s a great yoyo. Got 2 for 3A. Annihilation mono is a bit more at 35 but I play that one a LOT.

there was cheaper: yozean destroyer mono was $6 shipped for a little bit and it’s basically just a cyber crash 1 with a reportedly not so great finish

This one is $35 but it performs like a $60 throw. Very underrated. Highly recommend.

Duncan Windrunner is my favorite unresponsive cheap metal, but I do prefer the comparably priced plastic Shooting Star enough to highly recommend it.

Okay listen, all these recommendations are fantastic! And you can’t go wrong with any of them. I’d second any one of these comments so far. But especially the guy above who recommended the topyo colossus vimax. I’d say get that or ANY TOPYO IN THAT RANGE. In my opinion NOBODY DOES WHAT TOPYO DOES IN THE BUDGET MONOMETAL CATEGORY. Though the shortcut in paragraph are also in that same club for me. But I have four different topyos in that price, the silenus, colossus vimax, colossus 7 and. The nuitt. And all four of them are some of the smoothest yo-yos I own, and the finish on them is just next level. I can’t say enough about the topyo five cut bearing so underrated I love that thing. Get him a topyo. It feels like ur getting something wayyyy above what u paid. At least that’s been my experience.

Yeah, I broke the $30 rule a little, but they’re still extremely inexpensive, especially for how _amazingly_ good they both are.

A new version of the yoyo Hydra just got released. It looks amazing. Otherwise, another good one is the top yo Colossus max or summer solstice

Does it have to be all metal? At $28 the C3 Speedaholic XX plays better than most metals in thus price range, IMHO. Stable, powerful, finger spin cups…it’s got it all.
Just throwing that out there. Something to consider.
Enjoy the throw my friends

I’m just here to echo some of what’s already been said. If you can’t triple the budget and get a Steadfast, then I think it’s totally worth the extra 5 bucks for a Shortcut. Punches well above its weight.

Probably would’ve saved me some money if I would’ve done this first. Fantastic starter through advanced throw.
