I think a protostar should be good enough. I’m done with the tricks on here and far past it, but i still use a protostar frequently. But if you want something new, invest in something good. ---

Yeah if you want to upgrade from a protostar you might as well get something expensive because play wise it won’t get much better I recommend a side effect yoyo and as many extra side effects as possible because then you can change that yoyo as often as you want and not have to pay as much for a “new” yoyo ---

The Protostar is really good and will last you a good long time. You already paid a lot for shipping, do you really want to do that again? I remember advising you and you finally deciding on the Protostar. I though it was longer than that. Either way, congratulations on your progress, you’re way past me and my pathetic McBride’s Roller Coaster. No need for upgrading at this point. Invest in strings is all you need to do. I’m saying this because for you, this is especially expensive and I remember your family being pretty much against this whole thing in the first place. I will say this: if you’re going to go metal and expensive though, DO honestly take your time and thoroughly evaluate your options and watch your budget and currency exchange rates. But don’t equate dollar value to “better”. Keep in mind it’s all abut preferences. Still, the Protostar is an amazing yoyo for the money. It’s durable, comfortable, stable, reliable and spins amazing. There’s no valid reason to upgrade yet. Too bad you aren’t anywhere where I live. I’d let you try anything in my collection! ---

I think this page is current. Browse and ask questions. It’s an inventory page, kind of a boring read. [http://www.studio42.info/yoyo/collection/](http://www.studio42.info/yoyo/collection/) And yes, lack of experience quickly makes this confusing. I still don’t think you need to upgrade, but if you do, metal is the only choice and I think the ILYY VOID might be a good affordable choice based on size and weight.
