do you know how to bind? Iā€™d go for the Shutter if you do. ---

Since usually first metals get dinged up. Iā€™d go for a Magic Yoyo. What is your price range? ---

There isnā€™t a wrong choice out of what you posted, in my opinion. Be prepared to accept the fact that this yo-yo is going to take a lot of damage. The less you invest, the less you stand to lose if you donā€™t like it. ---

get the cheapest one, I also recommend these throws they are cheap, durable, and great beginning throws free hand zero: Its a classic gets you to learn all the basic 1a and 3a tricks remove a sticken and make it unresponsive, durable, comes with counter weight for 5a magic yoyo T5: its fast, has a great shape, metal, and under 20 bucks yoyojam XLR8: has plastic rims so can take damage better, great shape, can learn finger spins on Werrd hour: durable due to 7075 aluminum, great shape, excellent colors ---

Just to be precise Iā€™m working on the last tricks of advanced part 2 so yes I know how to bind. My budget is around 50$, I like H profile shape, V shape, inverse round shape and flat rim shape (pretty much all of them except the round shape) , Iā€™m particularly addict to grinds including the thumb grind so a yoyo that grind well, I like not to light not to heavy yoyosā€¦ And thatā€™s it. ---

Not many of us have played all of those. I have a Minute, and I can tell you this: I havenā€™t played a better grinding yoyo at ANY price. The finish is simply astounding, and thereā€™s a usable IGR as well. As an extra bonus, the small spikes are quite usable for ā€œmatadorā€. Some of those options are not particularly grind-friendly (like the Shutterā€¦ though theyā€™re releasing a blasted Shutter within a few weeks). My full view of the Minute can be found near the top of the ā€œreviewsā€ section of this site. The response not being flush or recessed is about my only gripe. ---

Iā€™d recommend the minute, shutter or a magic yoyo Those are fairly inexpensive, high quality and Great way to get introduced to metals and if you get some dings and dents it wonā€™t be so bad. These three are top players in their price brackets and play like more expensive yoyos. Happy hunting and enjoy what ever you pick up! ---

Just pick up a used throw off the BST. I can guarentee youā€™ll be beating up your first metal and you can get something priced much higher for cheaper if it has a couple marks already. You also wonā€™t be worried about babying the throw if it already has damage ---

Just remember you donā€™t truly own your yoyo until you ding it a few times. šŸ™‚
