> [@codinghorror](#): > > To me the gold standard is Tom Kuhn 3-in-1 No Jive. Well to make it “your” gold standard you must have quite a bit of time spent playing one. How many hours would you say? What tricks can you hit on it? Serious stuff like spirit bomb? Or maybe just classics like splitting the atom. Can ya even do a man on the flying trapeze with a flyaway dismount? I’m just trying to gain perspective on your recommendations. ---

If you are on a budget get a [Legend Wing](https://shop.yoyoexpert.com/products/yoyofactory-legend-yoyo). If you can find one, you cant go wrong with a No Jive, the essence of _SMOOTH_ , just a joy to play. ---

If you go Legend Wing, go for a raw/unfinished one. The ones with a finish feel, imo, not that great… But the Legend wing is another solid fixie option. In fact, that might be the best recommendation for your first, and if you decide that you like fixed axle yoyos, GET A HARBINGER. lol ---

Buuutt I am really sad that there are no more TK 3-in-1s are being made. Here’s why: - Take apart means it’s much easier to fix string problems, so I prefer take-apart designs in general - Overall the metal hub design that TK came up with here is kinda genius, like the Side Effects system for OD. 💡 - The wood sleeve makes the wood axle replaceable, and not _just_ replaceable, you can swap out different woods or even a metal axle (!) - Because of the fancy axle design, you can flip it around to switch between imperial, butterfly, or even [the God forsaken Padoga](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/pagoda-configuration/85482) configuration 🤮 - it has a fair bit of weight to it, especially the lacquered versions, I prefer heavier wood throws Even [the manual for the No Jive](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/tom-kuhns-pumping-wood-and-other-classic-yo-yo-instruction-sheets/296600) is awesome! I mean there’s a reason @edhaponik has one tattooed on his ~~face~~ body, right? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/a/9/f/a9f6e6ba71944ea5796e678f5e72acdb9246f24c.png) Honestly most generic wood fixed axles are kinda “the same” to me, e.g. the Legend Wing. What I appreciate about the 3-in-1 is the extra engineering that went into it to make it have greater longevity and flexibility. ---

In my opinion, the best fixed axle YoYo (that I’ve tried) is the eh 2014. Good weight and take apart design, edge can be a little hard on quick return but you’ll eventually built up a callous. I doubt you’ll find one that someone would part with though because of how great they are. Like a few others have said, the Legend Wing is probably your best bet. It’s so good for the price and although might require a bit of breaking in, it’ll be worth it in the long run. I was shooting moons with mine a few hours ago and it’s just a nice fin cheap throw to carry around. ---

I have a 2018 Eh I wouldn’t mind selling if anyone is interested. Ultimately I think I am not a fan of all-wood removable axles. ---

I’ve gotta say that I don’t think I’m a big fan of the 20ehteen either. I think that the rims are a bit too sharp for my hand to like. I was thinking about paring them down so they were flat but I wouldn’t want to spoil all that added rim weight. ---

Oh it is a very nicely designed _thing_ without a doubt! But it’s not a great fit for me personally. Seriously anyone who wants a 2018 EH go ahead and PM me, and we’ll make a deal. ---

My first Friday contribution, everyday is fixed axle Friday for me. Today is the Duncan Limelight, it’s a fixed axle Speed Beetle with LED lighting.
