Do you know how to bind? Well, I highly suggest the YoYoJam Legacy. It’s the best yoyo in the whole world. In my opinion. Haha.

But isn’t your Grind Machine good enough?

Dude, he’s between beginner and intermediate.

Stay with your GM until you hit the advanced. THEN get a dv888 or protostar

Yes i would definitly get a protostar if you can bind but if you cant bind i would get DmII or legacy as these are two great beginner to intermediate yoyos. The reasons I would get the protostar is that it is cheap,It is still one of my favorite yoyos and i have been throwing for 10 months.It also is very fast and even after 8 months you can still use it.  
Link to legacy here [YoYoJam – YoYoExpert](http://shop.yoyoexpert.com/product/14/YYJ-Legacy)  
DM II link here [YYJ Dark Magic II – YoYoExpert](http://shop.yoyoexpert.com/product/4/YYJ-Dark-Magic)
