My dad got me a Yomega brain and a Yomega fireball a couple years ago for Christmas and I used the brain to learn and I recently decided to switch to the fireball but it has a bad sleep time and doesn’t unscrew so can I fix it or not. If not then can y’all recommend some good quality yoyo’s for under 10$ because I’m broke. ---

I second the Butterfly XT those are fantastic beginner yoyos. At $5 they are cheap enough to buy two if different colors and swap the halves so you have multi colored ones. I did that and gave the spare away to my sister lol. XT is great. Never played a whip but i hear lots of love for it for what it is. The Spinstar and Arise yoyos are fun, although id just go with the duncan for the price. I am also kind of curious about the Snapback, which you can get here on yoyoexpert. I just learned about it so dont have one, but might be worth a shot in the dark over the spinstar or Arise. > **[SnapBack](https://shop.yoyoexpert.com/collections/15-under-yo-yos-by-price-range/products/snapback-yoyo-by-yoyoexpert?variant=42154643947710)** > > After years of testing we have come up with the perfect balance of long spinning beginner yoyo that can handle both string tricks and still SNAP BACK! ---

Snap back is a solid beginner yoyo. It’s like a spinstar but that bearing really helps spin time. > **[SnapBack](https://shop.yoyoexpert.com/collections/new-releases/products/snapback-yoyo-by-yoyoexpert?variant=42154643947710)** > > After years of testing we have come up with the perfect balance of long spinning beginner yoyo that can handle both string tricks and still SNAP BACK! ---

Odd a fireball should unscrew. Usually I have to add some brain lube (super lube) essentially just any thick lube to the plastic transaxle to get it to loop well. (Add the lube between the plastic sleeve and the metal axle. You could if the yoyo won’t come apart at all add some unscented chapstick to the end of the string (loop around the axle) to get the response your trying to find or worse case double loop like you have the auto return yoyo. If you really just want a new yoyo under 10ish Like others have said a Duncan xt is your most affordable option. You can often also find them at target in the US.

Good quality will cost money. You won’t get anything that’s truly good quality for $10 or under. Maybe acceptable quality at best. If you want truly good quality, then save up for it. That’s not to say that you shouldn’t get something for $10 or under to practice with in the meantime, but don’t expect good quality for that price. ---

IMO, the best option for $10 or under listed above would be the WHiP because it can be easily upgraded to be unresponsive just by switching the bearing. It’s not the best for unresponsive due to the light weight, but I learned on similar yoyos and did just fine.
