Wow! That’s a crazy price range! Canon and Atlas were made for 5A (right?). Honestly though if you are just learning, I would grab something cheap you already have and use it. You are going to drop it a lot when learning certain types of tricks, so cheap and durable are the way to go!

I’m with WH0TH3MAN on this one. Start by playing with a yo-yo you don’t mind damaging. If you don’t have one then pick up something inexpensive (Replay PRO) or used. You are going to drop the yo-yo a lot when learning 5A.
