Hello all, I mentioned this in my intro post, but I have looked a little more and wanted any feedback you might have… I just started with the yoyo about a month ago and just ordered a Black Magic II and a JK for myself… I feel I need something more than the Yomega Maverick I started with… however I have a couple friends that did messing with my yoyo and wanted to buy them both a cheap starter throw to get them started. I was looking at some of the cheaper yoyos that would work for them and maybe grow a little with their skill… The three I have narrowed it down to are: YYF One YYF Fast 201 YYF Spinster I also like the YYF Whip, but don’t think they would enjoy an unresponsive throw yet. Any thoughts, or recommendations outside my choices? Thanks! ---

Lyn fury. Very good performer, very low maintenance, very durable, and most importantly, very cheap. ---

One or dark magic 2, I learned all the way from atomic bomb to (the end of trick list) on my dark magic 1 and two is even better. ---

> [@Jayyo](#): > > yoyojam prelude is the way to go for sure. I second that. However, if your friends only want to try using a yoyo, get them the Spinstar. The Spinstar requires very little maintenance compared to the silicone in the One and Prelude, which is what I like for a beginner yoyo. ---

Wow, thanks for all the feedback… I’m going to look into some of these… might pick one up for myself too for fun. I’ll let you know what I get them. ---

So I am down to the Fury, One and Prelude… Anyone know if you can pop out that graphic insert on the Fury? The cartoon graphics are cheese… I think I might get one of each… buy two for my friends and keep one for myself for fun. On a side note, I just got my Dark Magic II for myself, and that thing is DOPE! I’m just getting used to it, but I really like it so far. It feels balanced and I get more consistent clean sleeps with it. I should get the JK I ordered by Monday. Thanks again for the help everyone!
