Hey all, im ready for a new yoyo and was hoping you’d be able to offer me some help.

I was looking at metal yoyo’s but if you think better LmK.

I want something unresponsive, with good weight, and a long spin. Im not scared to silicone and clean bearings. The wife is buying it as a Bday present so something between $60-$90. Lets hear it! thx!

I’ll recommend the duncan metropolis, which has quickly become one of my favorite yoyos ever.

It has a fairly unique shape, but still plays great. It’s super stable and has quite a bit of spin time. It’s not the absolute smoothest yoyo you’ll ever own, but it’s still pretty smooth.

In that case, check out the c3 dark sonic. It’s $100, but it is AMAZING. It’s super stable, one of the best horizontal yoyos on the market, and is EXTREMELY smooth. Like crazy smooth.

You can’t go wrong with C3YoYoDesign :]

I was going to recommend the sOMEThING FIRMY but I think with the price point you’re giving us, there’s a lot more nicer yoyos out there.

Anyway, you may want to focus on a C3YoYoDesign yoyo.

With a budget of $90, the One Drop Burnside becomes a reasonable choice as well.

Many of the other choices are good as well. I can’t see any bad choices.

I will only say one bad thing. I had a Metropolis that is way at Duncan being examined. It was eating strings. This is too bad because I generally liked the play and shape. Hopefully they’ll wear down that bearing seat area or send me a new one. Either option is fine.

I’d highly recommend the Genesis in that price range.

@Studio - your “favorite trick” made me lol.

I recommend the Capless. I’ve also heard incredible things about Yeah3’s.
