A YYJ plastic is most often recommended. It’s your choice to decide between a Kickside and a Lyn Fury. They are both great so just choose the one that seems the coolest you. you can get a Speedmaker instead but I don’t see them to be recommended as often as the Kickside and Lyn Fury are. Don’t forget to buy some string, shims, and some lube. You probably don’t need the shims and lube(thin) right now since you obviously don’t know how to bind and play unresponsive. By the time you do know how to bind you’ll probably get another yoyo and you can order the shims and lube then. So just buy some string for now. Also, your post is in the wrong section. Please move it from the General forum to the Help/Recommendation. ---

If you want to learn tricks, there is a navigation bar above that says Learn, Shop, Forum, … etc. Click on the one that says learn. And welcome to YYE, if you have anymore questions feel free to ask anyone. ---

I think the lyn fury would be a perfect fit! And remember to get 100% poly string. Maybe 100 pack because you live in Israel. PS. when my Dad was a kid, a foreign exchange student from Israel lived with him for a little while. ---

Id suggest a yyj plastic, like the above, or a yoyofactory velocity. Velocitys are the best beginner yoyos in my opinion because you can make the responsive or unresponsive via a twist of a dial, I really wished i knew how good they were when i started out, my little sister has one now. > **[Velocity](https://shop.yoyoexpert.com/products/velocity-yoyo-by-yoyofactory)** > > When YoYoFactory first introduced the Velocity it was revolutionary. An all plastic yo-yo that with the spin of a dial you could adjust to go from beginner to expert! For years the Velocity has been the choice of beginner and intermediate yo-yo...

I started off with a speedmaker, and it grew with me too.  Dont hate on the speedmaker everybody! ---

wait, legacy is for intermediate players. it is “unresponsive” meaning that if you tug on the string, it wont come up. you will need a responsive yoyo to start with. get a journey because it is basically the same but responsive. same design ---

You will honestly be fine with the Journey. Because of it’s adjustable gap, you can make it pretty unresponsive. The Journey can take you far into your journey into yoyoing. (Haha, see what I did there? :P) ---
