The ONE and WHIP are great. I’m also looking to get several inexpensive YYJ’s soon as well as the PSG.

shinwoo griffin wing, the rims are rubber or something so its harder to break (not 100% sure though), and its pretty cheap like $15, its a good one to check out!

Protostar and PSG for sure. Both play amazingly and are relativly cheap. Go for them.

I don’t think the rims are rubber.

The psg is a good one I tried my friends and it was great.

During the time I started throwing, I’ve asked the same question and one yo-yo was unanimously recommended to me by the community at that time. That yo-yo was the classic, JD-signatured, YoYoJam Lyn Fury. Despite having newer plastic yo-yos such as Legacy and the Plastic Grind Machine, the Lyn Fury is still my favourite plastic throw. Shave down the o-rings or replace them with silicone and you’ll have a beast of a yo-yo for only 15 dollars. They are also near unbreakable and durable as heck. I’ve owned and used the same Lyn Fury for 6 years now and even used it to do 4A when I didn’t have a proper 4A yo-yo and it still spins true to they first day I got it. I cannot recommend this yo-yo enough and not seeing anyone else recommend this yo-yo is a great shame.

Did I also mention that Takeshi Matsuraa used a Lyn Fury to win 5A in Worlds 2008? Yep…

The Lyn Fury is fun and heavier than the Whip (the Whip is still fun too). I have been throwing my new Lyn for a few days now. I have silicone in it and today I just got in some .030 shims which really opened up the gap on it. This thing really shines for a plastic now.

So if you don’t mind minimal modification… go with the Lyn Fury. If you just want to throw it out of the box… the One or Whip.
