Hello everyone! I have been looking for a while and just couldn’t decide on what my first Yoyojam yoyo should be. My budget is $70 maximum. I also want a nice unresponsive yoyo, not a responsive one. What are your thoughts? ---

The Dark Magic II was my first YoyoJam. It will always be my first love. :-\* It comes with two bearings, large and small, stable, long spinning, and easy to learn on. It will cost you about $47, and leave you enough money left for lube and string, if you need it. ---

Dark Magic II is the way to go with YoyoJam. Just switch bearings to the large one and you will have an excellent non-responsive throw. Many of us started with the DM II. ---

Theory or Classic. If fingerspins matter, Both can fingerspin for over a minute… Maybe an Inspire because its beautiful. ---

If I were you, and I really wanted a yoyojam yoyo, I would look for a used phenom or diamondback on the BST. With $70 I’m pretty confident someone would sell you one of these in good condition. If your uncomfortable with the BST, and want something brand new, I would recommend considering a different brand–a budget metal from Yoyofactory, C3, YoyoOfficer, or side effect throw from ONE Drop. ---
