Every year, my school has this big test that decides if 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders move on to the next grade. We have a pep rally for It, and I got big news for this. One of the teachers asked if I could do a 1 minute freestyle for it. This is my first ever freestyle, and i think i might need a new throw. What should i get!!! (preference Wedge)

Without knowing more that is hard to say. What do you already have? Responsive or non-responsive? Plastic or metal? Budget? I can say that I just ordered myself a Shutter Wide Angle Galaxy because I wanted a yoyo easy to do tricks with in a color that would stand out. Also got some bright string because I wanted the string to show up as much as the yoyo.

Well, i guess the max would be $30-$35, if you have any suggestions, and also a finger spin dimple.

I’m thinking about trying the Antidote. Plastic, finger dent, $20.

I say snag a Recess Snack. Judging by the 3rd-5th grade comment, you still have some growing to do, and a full size yoyo will make chopsticks and some other elements harder for your smaller hands. 35 bucks and you can get a cool splash and a good throw.

I’ve taken out the Snack(sorry,@DCM92Lude), but the antidote and Speedaholic xx are both 5 stars. if you guys need any more help, i like tech, slacks, speed, and cool binds(ex. flick bind).

[Shooting Star](https://shop.yoyoexpert.com/products/shooting-star-yoyo-by-iyoyo?variant=38078556995774)
Another plastic within your price range that has a finger spin dimple, and it’s based on the iceberg if that helps

Not the Spaeedaholic XX, but the rest, yes. He’s very good. If you do ever want to get a metal, def go for the silenus. If there was no budget, the EDGE beyond is a powerhouse! (According to BV)

I think i might buy the shooting star. Do you guys think i should, because its a plastic replica of the iceberg(the yoyo that sold in less than a day).

mannnnn Speedaholic xx is the best plastic with a dimple I’ve ever thrown. I’ve owned so many plastics over the last decade and different type of plastics. The H shape of the speedaholic xx gives it great stability for plastic. Definitely ample for a 1 min freestyle which sounds like fun enjoy!

If you like the yoyo, then go for it.
BUT
1. Just because a yoyo sold out quickly, doesn’t make it a good yoyo, it just means that the company did a good job promoting it and building hype before its release.
2. Even though a plastic yoyo is designed similarly to a metal one, this does not mean that they will play the same.
> You should do some research and pick a yoyo based on what looks appealing to you and sounds like it fits what you want to play.
I haven’t played the shooting star, but I will say that I like the Wedge, it is a lot of fun and has a surprising amount of power for a plastic throw.
That said, @Legit_Yo-Yo recommended the Dove above. I didn’t realize it before that this yoyo is ONLY $35!? You will get much better reliability and performance out of a machined delrin yoyo vs. a molded plastic one.
Nate is one of my favourite yoyo reviewers, this is what he thought of the Dove: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hannQohx1ZU](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hannQohx1ZU)
That’s likely what I would pick to tick all of your boxes.
That’s my input, best of luck with your performance! Hope you have fun!

I agree I have the OG iceberg, but it’s not incredibly consistent. Pom yoyos are always great and again, the Speedaholic XX is a beast! At the end of the day, it’s your choice! (Oh and the Wedge Rocks!)

Ok guys, I think I’ve decided on the Antidote. I’m thinking about getting a 4a yoyo with it, so what do you think: Flight or Skyhawk?

You’ll enjoy that!
I’d go with skyhawk over flight personally.
