Not too many yoyos switch from responsive to unresponsive. If you really need that in your yoyo then your choices are limited. ---

If you want a fully unresponsive metal yoyo for under $50, I’d personally go to Yoyofficer. They have some of the best budget metals around. ---

People often over look an easy way to make a yoyo responsive, just add lube to the bearing. Therefore, if you want a yoyo that you can swap bearings with for responsiveness, buy an extra bearing and lube one up. Best of both worlds and you can own the yoyo you want. ---

My favorite responsive yoyo still stands as the yoyojam classic. It’s exactly what I look for in a responsive throw. The next step would be a fixed axle throw which can be a lot of fun to play with. ---
