> [@Bznalcapone](#): > > Let’s say I wanted to buy a yoyo that is plastic that can be capable of beginner play and advanced but also has a fingerspin. OK, let’s say that. 🙂 When I first dipped a tentative toe into the modern waters I picked up a YYFactory Arrow Elite. Plastic, darn near indestructible, comes with both responsive and unresponsive bearings, has fingerspin caps. Sounds like it ticks all your boxes. Oh, and under $20 so if it ain’t yer thang you can give it to someone and make their day. _ **rEvolve** _ ---

Yeah I have a molded one now and I don’t really like it. I feel like it’s just too cheap and plasticky. It feels like a toy. I want to get a plastic that just feels like premium ---

I don’t like the feeling of molded polycarbonate yo-yos either. If you like everything else about the yo-yo, sandpaper can improve the surface texture. e.g. > [@Sanding clear plastic yoyos](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/sanding-clear-plastic-yoyos/395096): > > I always wanted to see examples from the community of your personal plastic throws you guys sanded! I was thinking of sanding my own clear plastic yo-yos to see if it has the smooth machined PC appearance. It would be greatly appreciated! ---

Another option is the Dale Tubat Intro. 3D printed and comes with a narrow and full sized bearing. I agree with @Tempura about preferring POM/Delrin. Some people dislike the texture. I actually think that machined PC has the highest quality feel and grind performance. But I really like POMs distinctive feel. Dale Tubat’s 3D prints (and probably others) have yet another texture that someone could prefer or dislike. I have been impressed by both the Intro and Rival. ---

The DIY is one, but in general it is not as common on lower cost/beginner models. Some that are currently available on YYE: [iNFiNiTY X yo-yo by iYoYo](https://yoyoexpert.com/products/infinity-x-yoyo-by-iyoyo) (looks promising) [Apollo YoYo by Dressel Designs](https://yoyoexpert.com/products/apollo-yoyo-by-dressel-designs) (I have this) ---

They both looks really nice but there is one issue with the Apollo. It doesn’t have the finger spin. To finger spin is really something I really really wanted In my next throw. The speed xx I really like I found one that is not on the website. It’s like an all white which looks really sweet. It’s like $31 shipped. I kind of like this one a lot to be honest with you but it’s not responsive like I wanted but it’s okay. ![1000002521](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/d/2/8/d28830515e094fab8d3ae500eec478676d5943ba.jpeg) ---

Yeah I was just looking around for different things so every yo-yo that you guys told me about I went to different sites to see if I can find different designs and I happen to come across this white one that really piqued my interest I could get it in 1 to 2 days if I pay you like 11 bucks more but I have a $4 discount which helps trying to get something quick. I’m going on vacation soon so I need a yo-yo I can get really fast to bring with me. I was really hoping that they had some on Amazon, but the only thing that they have really on Amazon is the magic. Yo-yo V10 V12 v13 and some cheat codes. ---

You just need a shorter axle and half spec bearing for responsive by the way. ---
