I think the YoYoFactory Velocity or Speed Dial are good choices so you can switch if you want to bind or not, but it isn’t really wise to use a yoyo for offstring and 1A unless it’s something supposed to be which there is not many. Some other good choices would be the Dark Magic 2, SpinFaktor X, Equinox (Offstring and 1A, but not the best beginner offstring yoyo), Atmosphere, New Breed and many other YoYoJam plastic/ metal body yoyos. Also the ProtoStar, NorthStar, Die Nasty, or Plastic Grind Machine (all YoYoFactory) with YoYoJam Thick Lube are good choices. Good Luck on your Journey through yoyo’ing! ---

> [@skeith1002](#): > > max funds is $162 > as for preference I do not know really as long if its usable by a beginner Why blow your wad if you are looking for a yoyo capable of beginner tricks?? You can buy a lot of lower priced yoyos in the $20-$40 range that are capable of both beginner and advanced tricks. ---

Buy two cheaper ones. You can get some nice players for $20 - $40. ---
