I would like to get into 3a without smelling burnt ano every other second. here are the guidelines. I would prefer those yoyos in topic but feel free to recommend
1:under 40 dollars
2:must be plastic
3:size is no matter
4:weight is no matter
5:size C bearing
Protostar. Floaty, spins forever, perfect for 3a.
I wonder if id be able to buy a pair off a friend…
yoyojam kicksides. amazing for 3A
ive used a kickside. I dislike them with the burning intensity of 1000 dieing suns all collectively creating a massive black hole that will destroy the universe. 
FHZ it is really good
FHZ is good for 5A but Protostar seems to spin a bit better. Like I get this feeling that all I need to do is do tricks without caring anything about the spin going out. That’s why I call it “spins forever”.
FHZ is great too, as it’s supposed to do 5A but Protostar can have the same floatness.
I highly suggest a pair of Shinwoo Techno 2s. They are only $10. They are easily customizable, due to Shinwoo’s rubber response. I actually got a pair for 3A myself and they are great. 
Kicksides or FHZ’s would also be great choices. Protostars would be good, but IMO when starting out its easier having two responsive yoyo or 1 responsive and 1 unresponsive compared to both being unresponsive.
Oh yeah, he’s right. Both being responsive is great. Even in worlds, they use 1 responsive and 1 unresponsive. 1slave25, your choice.
