Well, to start i’ve duncan [Dragon Fly](http://shop.yoyoexpert.com/product/134/Duncan-Dragon-Fly) and it’s spin for mm let’s say 15-25 sec … anyway i already know all beginner tricks , most of the intermediate and now i feel that the yoyo cant help me out to go further. in my mind i think to take [Dark Magic](http://shop.yoyoexpert.com/product/4/YYJ-Dark-Magic) Or [Revolution](http://shop.yoyoexpert.com/product/192/YYJ-Revolution), so my requests - i want a yoyo that spin for really long time - i want a yoyo that is completely unresponsive “note: it will be better if i can switch to responsive” - price not that important i want to see the best with the less ---

revolution i think it better than the dm (i have a dm). i think you should get that or a protostar if you dont mind a plastic (the protostar will be only unresponsive. even with thick lube it wont be very responsive. it is big, H shaped.) 🙂 edit: but if you want a full metall by any chance (it will cost a little more) then i can recommend one also. ---

Protostar would make you happy. If you don’t mind spending a bit more, I’d highly recommend the dv888. ---

There is no such thing as an average spin time. It will spin long enough for you to do all of your tricks. You won’t really want to switch it, because soon; very very soon you’ll be throwing 100% unresponsive. You would regret buying one that can switch back and forth… The ProtoStar can take you from beginner to pro easily. It has been used to win too many competitions, and I highly suggest you buy one. It’s possibly the most popular plastic yoyo out there. Just because the price is low… doesn’t mean it’s a bad yoyo… trust me it’s not. ---

Well you’re wrong I have tried the Dv888 and owned a ProtoStar, and I think that the ProtoStar has better playability then the Dv888, IMO. People have taken tons of titles using the ProtoStar, and 0 for the Dv888. I’m not saying that the Dv888 is bad, I’m just telling you how great the ProtoStar is, and just because it’s plastic doesn’t mean that it’s not good, it’s just not good for grinds though. :wink: [Next page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/help-me-to-pick-a-yoyo/16699.md?page=2)
