My Fav OS YoYos are: Big Yo Aqua Pocket Change W/ Off String Rims The Shinwoo OS YoYo(I can’t think of the Name ATM) Hyabusa And the SL Version Big Yo is the Best Beginner One IMO. ---

Please don’t substitute numbers for “to” and “for” its kind of distracting. In my experience with the YYF offstring, it breaks into pieces when I drop it but there has been a few times where everything stayed together. I guess it just depends on how tight the pieces are screwed on together. But like what theyoster109 said, the BigYo is a great choice for a beginner. Its easy for whips and catches. ---

my personal fave is the hayabusa but to answer your other question, yes yyf offstrings aren’t that hared to break but are also easilly fixable. i say you go with big yo or hayabusa ---

PocketChange with Offstring wings is the shiznat… I’ve had some crazy drops and its still going strong… You have to besure to check the caps because sometimes they come loose and it falls apart… And every one at silent getaway gasps because they think your giant yoyo died and you, knowing very little sign language has to try an explain in sign with a strin hanging off your finger that its fine and its just part of the disign… Wait… What? true story btw… ---

if you are going to use a pocket change with offstring wings you might want to put a little knot at the end of your string to make it bind better ---
