I’ve been using a regular yo-yo to practice 4A for a few weeks, but now I’m looking to get a proper 4A throw for offtober. I decided to check out the Duncan Skyhawk, but all of its reviews are from years ago. Do any of you guys have any experience, reviews, or even a better yo-yo?

I’d save up a bit more and get something better than a Skyhawk.

I’ve seen the rims from a Skyhawk fly off of the yoyo, so no. magicyoyo has the t1 captain.

If you’re looking for something on the cheap, the Spire by iYoyo is _really_ good. If and when you’re ready to get spendy, the Anotogaster by Yoyorecreation is downright amazing. Things you always had a hard time with suddenly become easy.

How does the Anotogaster compare to metal rim throws? I can pick one up in the UK, but been advised to get a metal rim one. @mrJames

No idea, I’ve only ever used the Spire and the Anotogaster. I _can_ say the 'gaster spins a lot longer than the Spire. Personally I’d be afraid to get an off-stringer with metal in any place it could hit me. Hurts, bro! 🤣
