> Yessir, I do. I think that this is THE yoyo to have at the moment, beginner, advanced, master, whatever. You should have this yoyo, or at least have owned one previously. Oh don’t worry, I have reasons.
> 
> If you are a beginner, this is the yoyo I recommend. Not a Kickside or Speeder or Lyn Fury or Freehand Zero, I recommend a Velocity. Here’s why:
> 
> 1. It’s inexpensive and plastic. Sure, it costs a few extra dollars than the YYJ models, but it’s sure worth it (more on this later.) The plastic is durable, but doesn’t hurt when it hits you in the head.
> 
> 2. Adjustable Response: This is the big thing. Your velocity can handle whatever level of response you need it to. So, when you think you’re ready to move on to unresponsive yoyoing, you don’t go out and buy another yoyo, you just twist a dial. You’re getting the versatility of the unresponsive yoyo without the money (easy and cost effective.)
> 
> 3. It plays as well as, or even better than, all the other entry level plastics out there. Smooth, comfortable, solid weight, everything you need. It’s not extreme or bizarre in any way, just designed for you! And yes, it sleeps long.
> 
> 4. In case you’re curious, yes, one can easily perform all of the cool complicated tricks on a Velocity, as long as they practice enough. Doing it on something else won’t make it easier.
> 
> For advanced players:
> 
> 1. Looking for something on the cheap? Solid, versatile, $20. Go crazy!
> 
> 2. Starting 3A? Great! Get yourself a pair (still cheap) and turn em responsive for now. Get better? Switch to unresponsive. Voila!
> 
> 3. Playing responsive is really fun.
> 
> 4. When you’re out on the town, and someone sees you yoyoing, this is the perfect yoyo to be using. Why? You can quickly switch it to responsive for them. Also, if the hit it on the sidewalk, you won’t be as broken up as if it was metal. Hooray for versatility and a budget!

> So yeah. I say get a Velocity. You’ll like it.

Loved it for a while…first YYF yoyo ;D, then sold it to a friend, and bought a brand new spankin DV888
