I received a wooden fixed axle yoyo in a trade and became interested in fixed axle play. I’m looking for recommendations of good fixed axle yoyo’s I should look into as a beginner that may be better what I currently own. I really have zero idea what goes on in the fixed axle realm, all help is appreciated. Also wondering about metal vs wooden axles and different response systems. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/a/c/6/ac612592ba4a5e9774601227cb7965dfcc63c91d.jpeg) ---

Don’t forget to look up the Fixed Axle February video contest. Lots of prizes to be won and no yoyo skill required. ---

You could enter the contest with a Butterfly 🙂 Just be entertaining or inspiring or artistic, etc. So many cool sponsors stepping up. People who don’t enter may come to regret missing out. Edit: I’m sorry. I totally derailed your post. Look for a thread titled Wood Is Good. Lots of helpful guys in there. ---

Lol sadly the guy I got it from, I think his name was Promaster, never really told me, or at least he didn’t know. He called it an african black devil wood yoyo, and it was a deal sweetener, so I was like “Sure I’ll take it lol” That was the only fixed axel I ever had, so I wouldn’t really be able to compare it with anything, sorry. ---
