Welcome to the forums! Maybe you can take a look at the MK1 Spyglass, seems to fit what you want pretty well. Itās not a traditional organic (has a deep undercut) and is a bit smaller than full size, but I think youāll find it enjoyable.
Heyo lads, its been about 12 years since Iāve been here, looking forward to taking some good photos and making some good sales and purchases!
Just picked up an Aitch and a Shinobi after looking into the ānew genā of hardware. Having fun again already!

New middle aged dude who discovered yo-yoing during pandemic. Big fan of 0A when on video calls with camera off. Still a 1A fledgling but having a lot of fun working through the basics.
Richmond VA is home. Thanks to all who posted tutorials here - they have helped a lot.

Welcome back! I quit in the early 90ās and got back into it in the 2020 quarantine days. Itās a great time to return. No more learning from text out of a book or āyo-yo trick bookā that comes with the yo-yos. 
between the forum, and videos you can learn anything and thereās a endless number of tricks now. Modern yo-yos are much better on average than the old days too.
Itās great to have another old school player throwing again.

Hey my name is Alex and I used to be very into yo-yo-yoing back in the early 2010ās. I got back on YYE today to check out the throws for sale and decided to rejoin the forums! I still have my two favorite yo-yos from back then which are a CLYW avalanche (2.0 I think) and YYFxTurningPoint chaotic. The CLYW is a blizzard variation of the blue and gold color way that I forget the name of and the other is grey with a specked acid wash. My favorite trick is probably the one I created back then called mood organ(from āDo Androids Dream of Electric Sheepā). It combines a lot of my favorite elements from hops like kwijibo, string rejection, and triangles, and that thing where it goes between your thumb and index finger.

Hi all,
Started throwing in high school in the late 90ās (class of 98 yo!). between then and about 2005 i was still trying to catch up on some old school tricks i still cant do, as well as move forward to the insane new tricks coming out of the mid school era, which I literally quit trying to learn out of jealousy and frustration. When I got to magic drop and wrist mount, I gave up. throwing a guaranteed knot every time you make an attempt ended my pursuit of new tricks. after that, iād find a random new yoyo here and again, play for a sec, and put it down for years again. but since around 2020 iāve rediscovered the yo, my collection has exploded from what was left over in my toy box, and in 2022 finally landed magic drop and started working on shockwave, wrist mount feels easy, and iāve landed spirit bomb a handful of timesā¦
I can comfortably freestyle the elements of buddahās revenge, cold fusion, skin the gerbil, rewind, the matrix, kwyjibo, and general trapeze stuff. i tend to prefer side style 1a tricks, I hate the bind but Iām trying to get more comfortable with itā¦Iām still looking for that unicorn throw that plays almost fully unresponsive until you are at the end of your trick/spin time and you can just tug return it. I still canāt loop up to and more than 3 times in a controlled manner and shoot the moon is a pipe dream for me, but Iām also discovering modern responsive stalls, and trying to find the courage to start learning a little 5a so can mix that in.

You really need to get ready
Welcome to the forums @basicboy, @TrplA3 and @Sleeper80!
@Sleeper80, sorry to be a wet blanket, but I donāt think such a yoyo exists. Newer responsive yoyos meant for beginners like the Recess First Base, iYoYo Shooting Star and the ThrowRevolution Neo might be unresponsive enough for you to do whip and laceration tricks, but leave some slack while doing Eli Hops or wrap the string around the yoyo too many times and the yoyo will punish your hands for it.
Agreed, unicorns donāt exist, lol. Iām just not smooth with binds at all, and it doesnāt feel like a yoyo to me if you canāt get a normal throw/return. My hands have taken alot of punishment for my futile pursuit of the impossible for sure.
Hi. Are you struggling with a front bind? This will help. It was made by the Forums @yoyodoc
I avoided unresponsive yoyos for several years because binding seemed out of my league. Now I canāt imagine why I did not try it earlier. Think of a bind as a an actual trick and not a neccessary evil for throwing unresponsive.
