Yes, You could take that step as long as your ready. You should think that your duncan doesnt sleep long enough or you cant do a trick, then you can switch. And lastly, the price of a yoyo doesnt matter- It’s the player -Evan ---

Or you could go in between and get something like a Legacy. It’s made to go from intermediate to advanced. If you can learn a bind return, then you should definitely get an unresponsive yoyo. If you don’t, you’ll be spending more money in the long run when you learn all you can on a cheaper yoyo, then your gonna want to get a Legacy or DM. So, learn bind return then invest into one of the two, and you won’t regret it. :wink: ---

If you want to spend in the $10, I suggest tweaking your budget up by $10 more. I highly suggest these yoyos if you are starting in the intermediate range: YoYoJam Kickside: [http://yoyoexpert.com/product/yoyojam/kickside/](http://yoyoexpert.com/product/yoyojam/kickside/) YoYoJam Lyn Fury: [http://yoyoexpert.com/product/yoyojam/lyn-fury/](http://yoyoexpert.com/product/yoyojam/lyn-fury/) YoYoJam Journey: [http://yoyoexpert.com/product/yoyojam/journey/](http://yoyoexpert.com/product/yoyojam/journey/) And probably the best intermediate yoyo of all, the YoYoFactory Velocity: [http://yoyoexpert.com/product/yoyofactory/velocity/](http://yoyoexpert.com/product/yoyofactory/velocity/) ---

> [@its\_honza](#): > > I agree with Samad you should get 1 of those but add the legacy to the list. ;D ;D ;D ;D I did not because if he is just intermediate, he probably doesnt know how to bind. Legacy’s are gateway yoyos to unresponsive play, and I know you would say lube the bearing or something, but if it is supposed to be unresponsive, I dont think we should strip it of its purpose. ---

nice that you are going to intermidiate level of yoyoing i think you should go up to YYJ (yoyojam) 40$ (dollars) it might have more spin time than 10 $ (dollars) yoyos AND MIGHT HELP MORE WITH THE TRICKS !!! hope it helps ---

Also, the plastics mentioned can do all of the tricks YYJ Bi-Metals can.
