I’m looking to get my first yoyo in a while and have narrowed it down to the Shooting Star or the Speedaholic XX responsive. I am mainly looking to get into 1a and basic tricks. I want to stay with responsive for now. I want something that is stable and sleeps for a decent amount of time as well.
I am trying to stay around the $30 price point. I am not sure if I will get into unresponsive later on but from my understanding I could switch the bearing in the Speedaholic XX to be unresponsive but the Shooting Star comes with both.
I am likely suffering from some analysis paralysis as it seems both are comparable and would be very similar. But I wanted to ask before I made a decision.

I think you’ll find nearly a 50/50 divide on that question. I know there’s a tad difference in the finger spin cups and aside from that I feel like the biggest difference to consider is the weight difference. The Speedaholic is heavier. I have had tha Shooting Star for a couple years and I think it’s great, but I’ve always felt a pull to try that heavier Speedaholic.

From what I have been reading, I am leaning towards the Speedaholic XX. I do like the look of it a bit better. I wish I could find a definitive process to convert it from responsive to unresponsive, or even the other way around. I think the main thing that has me considering the shooting star is that it comes with everything for both and there are clear instructions to do so.
