Finesse and a duncan bearing king, get both and you will be good to go. Dont go for the cheap stuff in diabolo, go right to something decent like a finesse or sundia sun, you will greatly benefit from this. Bearing king will last you a long time as well, Good to go. J ---

Definitely get a Finesse. For learning use fixed axle, it will make you play a lot better. I have a Sundia Fly and still differ to my Finesse for many tricks (less vertax and grinds) But seriously, get a Finesse and a nice pair of sticks. And if you have the cash, Henrys string, I can not go in to enough detail about how epic Henry’s Diabolo string is. ---
