> [@Studio42](#): > > I do think a DM2 makes a great first yoyo. Yes, expensive, but it’s many throws in one(except its not for 2A). Responsive or non-responsive out of the box based on the bearing you can easily swap out. Takes you as far as you want to go. Once you throw it you’ll agree. That’s what I’m looking for 🙂 The fact that has 2 bearings is nice and, for what I’ve read, it is what you said: a many throws in one. n\_\_\_n ---

I got the drifter and love it ;D but when it doesn’t come to your hand if you bind it you might have to take it apart to get the string out 😛 . I saw a comment that said drifter without the response in it so if you get it I’d suggest trying that. ---

This isn’t metal, but the yyf velocity is a great beginner yoyo.  It is also very durable and will handle hits to the ground.  It also has adjustable response which means that you can switch it from coming up to your hand when you tug to coming up with a bind.  Here are two great videos to watch. > **[YoYoExpert.com - Intermediate - Unresponsive Play](https://yoyoexpert.com/learn/029-intermediate-unresponsive.php)** > > An overview of nresponsive yo-yo play from the YoYoExpert. > **[YoYoExpert.com - Intermediate - Bind Returns](https://yoyoexpert.com/learn/030-intermediate-bind-returns.php)** > > Learn how to return an unresponsive yo-yo using a bind return from the YoYoExpert. ---

If you get an unresponsive yoyo, search fake bind on youtube it works much better then a normal bind 🙂 ---

> [@YoYoFactoryFreak](#): > > If you get an unresponsive yoyo, search fake bind on youtube it works much better then a normal bind 🙂 I"m going to partially disagree. I just saw the video, and I haven’t tried it myself yet. What I will say is that we should all know multiple ways to bind, and as far as I can see, this should just be one more method we should be aware of. So, I definitely thank you for the pointer and suggestion. I’ve downloaded that video for my convenience. ---

A fake bind doesnt get knots in the string 🙂 [Previous page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/my-very-first-yoyo/31750.md?page=1)
