Howdy, Iām Tommy2 from Fort Worth and havenāt tried a yoyo since the 6th grade. I, of course only remembering the good times, think it would be nice to try my hand at it again. Back then about the only yoyo was a wooden Duncan so after saving from my paper route I purchased one. Can just see it and feel it now seventy plus years later. Should anyone like to suggest a good one to re-start my enjoyment playing with one please reply. Thank you!

Hi and welcome Tommy2.
Donāt think iām the right person to advice on yoyos as iām relatively new to the pastime myself. You could do alot worst than start off with a loop 360, and or a Onestar.

If youāre experience was on a wooden Duncan you might enjoy one of the newer wooden fixed axles.
It depends what youāre looking for.
Do you want to continue yoyoing like you used to and maybe learn new tricks on a type of yo-yo youāre familiar with, or are you interested in learning newer stuff with yo-yos that work completely differently but are capable of a much larger variety of tricks?

Iād really like to start off with as modern of a yo-yo that I might be able to use. Retired, have time and the determination on my side. Maybe ought to set a limit of $50 or below costs, wouldnāt mind half that much of thatāll get a good beginners yo-yo. Thank you!

I recommend the yoyofactory Confusion to start with!

For a typical modern unresponsive under 50 I would definitely recommend something from UNPRLD! Something like the Recognition or the Corruption or the Reduction, or you can get a Shutter from YYF.
For a more beginner yoyo Iād say a First Base

I think something like the First Base by Recess or the newer speedaholic by c3yoyodesign or anything similar to those. With that budget, and just getting back into it you could grab a few things even, just to experiment. One other thing to remember though, if nothing else, as far as extras go, donāt forget the strings haha.

Thanks for the suggestion on a āhow toā info site and watched a video on string selection. Didnāt pay much attention since I didnāt have a yoyo but remember enough that I need to look at it again now knowing which yoyo Iāll be starting out with whenever it gets here.
Most likely will also ask my grandsons about yo-yoing - they might be able to give me firsthand instruction. They have all sorts of gadgets, wish I was in their shoes - not.

I highly agree with the suggestion of a First Base. Couldnāt have asked for a better learner throw, in my opinion.

Hello everyone! My name is Sam and I have been yoyoing for about 3.5 years. I started yoyoing back in late 2013 and did for a year before stopping and picking it back up again at the start of 2017. I found out about YoYoExpert in 2013 when I was browising the internet for yoyo related content. Besides yoyoing I like to play video games and baseball. I enjoy hooks and rejection thype tricks (even though I am not great at them. ) and my favorite yoyos are the unprld redcution the duncan windrunner the topyo silenus and the yyf shutter. I am glad to be part of this community.
