Anybody know if the ones in the pokéballs with candy have a good weight? Because they are fairly easy to get. Use anything that the string can hold on to and has a weight you like. It’s a plus if it looks cool. ---

Duncan Dice are the best. Some people like the bouncy balls because they aren’t loud when they hit the yoyo, but they are no-where near as cool as the dice. ---
