For the past month or so I’ve been digging around trying to figure put what throw I want to get next. I want to try out competing, but I don’t really have a yoyo fit for that—and I can’t decide what to choose. SO: if you could choose the best competitive yoyo(preferably under $100), what would you choose? I need help! ---

I have heard that the Magpie is really good as a comp throw, bit unstable but who cares, Raiser is a GREAT Bi-metal that is very affordable, haven’t tried it but heard amazing things about the Duncan Grasshopper GTX, yoyo looks AWESOME for 75 bucks. Will edit this comment if I find any other stuff, also, what do you like? weight? Wide/slim-ish? Large or small? ---

Definitely the GTX. Insane value, and just a great all-rounder. ---

Thanks for the help! I’m into lighter, medium sized yoyos that are fast and smooth on the string. In terms of gap width, I’ve always liked slightly wider yoyos… so pretty typical stuff. I prefer organic shapes, but I don’t mind v-shapes ---

You don’t have to use fancy expensive yoyos, it’s about what feels most comfortable when landing tricks on stage. Of course there are yoyos that play better than others, but if it spins good and you can casually land tricks on it, it should be ideal. I use myy carpfin ‘the wand chooses the wizard harry’ ---
