As the title says, im getting back into yoyoing and I need to purchase a new throw since I sold all of mine. I was debating between the following: - Yoyofactory Protostar - Crucial AYCE - Yoyofactory Whip - Yoyofactory Northstar Note, I am not new to yoyoing but I really cannot decide for some reason whether to just go buy a metal or stick to the cheap plastics, or get a mid priced plastic. Help would be appreciated. Thanks ! ---

Do you know how to bind? If so, out of the yoyos you mentioned I think the Northstar would be a very solid yoyo to learn tricks on. It’s stable, not to fast, so you can learn tricks and go slowly. I have never tried a Crucial AYCE. The YYF whip isn’t the best yoyo out there, it’s a little bit light and not to stable in my opinion. The YYF Protostar is a lighter version of the Northstar. It’s awesome! You can go really fast. I think you should get a Northstar! ---

Northstar or Protostar. If you want faster, Protostar. If you want slower(due to weight): Northstar. Super bang for the buck. Both are fantastic plastics. I have both, and I really enjoy them a lot. ---

Protostars rock.
