Im 14 and I just got into yoyo’s. I got a yomega raider responsive yoyo for christmas. I’ve gotten pretty good at it and i’m looking to get a unresponsive yoyo that would be good for finger tricks like DNA. Prefer not to spend more than $50 on my first metal yoyo. Thanks for any suggestions! ---

This would be my choice too, but Cyber Crash looks great and is in stock. And…starting to feel like a broken record, but I love the TopYo Patronum and R2FG Recluse, also available here. ---

There are a lot of good options. At under $50, there is a lot of yoyos that you can buy that are fantastic.

Yoyos that are better at finger spins will have a concave bowl shape in the cup to get your finger in. So if that’s your goal then don’t get anything with a button or a spike or laser etching in the middle of the cup. So for instance the Horizon would be good for finger spins but the Sugar and Laevateinn would not. I would recommend getting something in the $20 range like the Magicyoyo Purple Line or even a plastic yoyo like the iYoyo Shooting Star for learning on because you will beat up the first yoyo while you are learning. ---

The Elevation is a great throw! Mine is on regular rotation with my AceYo Amusing and Iyoyo Iceberg. I’d also recommend the Amusing. It’s only $25 and plays exceptionally well (though arguably it’s probably tough to find something horrible). I really like the Elevation, though, and I think you’ll be happy with it! Here’s both of mine, Elevation in gold: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/a/5/4/a5412a9e2c088295956bdbf5a88fd72334101e09.jpeg) ---

I would recommend the shutter trainer or shutter. I have it and it is my first and only metal yoyo.
