How high is up?? :wink: If you are a serious about competing you need at least 2 in the event one tangles midstream in your routine. For casual playing it depends on what you want, need, and can afford. ---

Didn’t we just have a thread like this a few days ago? 120 and climbing. But: 1 good 1A, that can be used for 3A(get 2), and 5A. A 4A throw. 2 decent loopers. 1 beater Wing-shape set responsive for noobs as a carry around. 1 beater for carry-around set however you want so you don’t have to worry about damages. Walk the dog, anyone? ---

All the ones you want that you can afford. Easy. More specific to me, I have something around 20 high end metals, but I usually only keep 4 bearing’d, strung, and ready to go on my living room mantle where I practice. If I get a knot or anything, I just switch to another until all four need to be restrung. So, that’s how many I’d like to think I NEED. ---

depends on what you want to do. if you compete you should have a couple of the same model in case you get a knot in your string, etc. if its just a hobby for you than its up to you, but have at least one pretty durable one for carry around ---

I think you should at least … have a case FULL lol I actually have to get rid of some because … my case is full … (only holds 12 but you can stack so it holds 24) … but now i have so many scattered through out the house and multiple boxes coming in and out. Its getting crazy but I think 20-30 is a good range. I do agree that you should keep a beater for Noobs lol … ---

I personally get something out of all the yoyos in my collection. If I don’t throw it I usually trade it. Really the only one I keep as a collectible but barely throw is my Dietz smile train. My other Dietz gets almost daily play though. If I had to limit the number it would probably be 6. One under size, one full size, one quick playing, one relaxed, one pocket, one beater and one grinder. But if I limited to one each of those types I’d still miss playing many of the other unique ones I’m lucky enough to own. [Sniffy-Yo.com](http://Sniffy-Yo.com) @Sniffyo on twitter ---

Why would you even think there should be a limit ? America is about choices, therefore it’s Patriotic to own as many YoYo’s as you can responsibly afford. It helps support the industry. ---
