New guy here, 61 years old! Last time I was into yoyos was 1967, and just got back into it about 2 weeks ago. Things have changed a lot since then. So far I have a Skyva, Sage, Replay Pro, Gargantua, Diffusion 2. The YYR’s are definitely the best of the bunch. The Skyva ain’t too shabby either. Just ordered a One Drop MMC for my first foray into metal, and a Cabal to see what delrin is all about. Learned how to bind about a week ago. Having tons of fun!!! As for One Drop, I went with Organic shape, since that’s what I remember so long ago with my Duncan Butterfly. Really looking forward to trying them, and sorting out what I like, and what works best for me now… ---

Hello, I’m Lacuzu667 and I am an 18 year-old from the United Kingdom. I started yoyoing when I was around 9-10 years old when the NED show came to my school and did a yoyo demonstration. It was there when I got my first yoyo from the NED show: the Cosmic Spin (which I still have at the time of this post). Yoyo has been an on and off hobby over the years until last year when I started playing with some old yo-yos. Now, I’m taking the hobby more seriously now and I’m going to try to be more active in the yoyo community. P.S. It’s pretty fidgety trying to press the little icons on a phone :joy: ---

Hey, I am just starting to look into these new types of yoyos. I have always had yoyos growing up and had no idea that there were so many out there! I want to get back into yo-yoing and don’t want just a beginner yoyo, but also don’t need anything too fancy. I’ve been looking at the brands yyo, yyf and c3yoyodesign. I was curious if anyone new which brand is better quality overall. Thank you! ---

Hey everybody. New here, 34 yrs of age. Just got back into throwing again after about 10 yrs. I wasn’t very good back then and have far surpassed what I could do back then. It’s been about 2 months and I’ve both like 8 throws already lol. I’m deep in it. I will post some pics of some goodies on the " what did you get in the mail this week" forum. Glad to be a part of this stellar community. Take care everyone! ---

Hey everybody, So I just dusted off my old wooden yoyo from 25 years ago… gave it a couple of throws. Enjoyed it and then went online to see what was out there. OMG… its insane. I thought clutch axles were state of the art! So needless to say I went out and got a Hildy Brother’s Currier to keep things old school and familiar. The fist one I got broke its axle mid throw in less than a week. The axle wood was all spongy. Yoyoexpert was super awesome and sent me a replacement so I was back up and running no time. The broken one got rebuilt with a brass rod axle. (Its nice. It sleeps easier and longer and is just a touch more heavy than the all wood one.) Then I went out and got a fancy unresponsive Replay… well maybe not so fancy, but I’m just testing out the waters with this unresponsive stuff. Its not going so well… Binds are the work of the devil! And then I scooped up a Spintastics Tornado 2 and a Yoyo King Everloop… which I think is a new version of the Spintastics Technics. I seriously like the Spintastics stuff. (I need to find a Spintastics Comet, if I can.) This all in the course of three weeks. I think I might have a problem. Hi, my name is Sean and I have a yoyo addiction again. ---

I do not know what “very old” is but this old man (who’s beginner throw was a wood axle Butterfly)says WELCOME to the throw. There are many inexpensive throws such as ONE or CLASSIC or SPEED-A-HOLIC that are good learning tools. Also the tutorials here a excellent. ---
