Iāve noticed that there are a lot of recommendations and people are saying that he should get a yo-yo plus accessories.
Iām sure the reason why your parents are stingy on a 20 dollar yo-yo is that itās a lot of money for something they arenāt sure you are serious about. Start small like the velocity and string and then show them that you are serious. Then they wonāt have to worry. You are on a budget right?
I think thatās a good idea chris. Iām kind of gambling on how much Iāll get. I have no idea on what Iāll actually earn. Oh, and Iām already getting paid for chores, but they donāt let me spend that.
get the velocity! iām not big into yoyofactory, but the velocity is good for learning. making the gap smaller can really smooth out your tricks. i have a flying v and its been responsive for quite some time, doin that has helped my throws and its made me smoother. also the velocity is a good yoyo to learn to bind on. you WILL need string, a string might last a week if you use it for about 2-3 hours a day.
Get a velocity and some string. (donāt lube it, you wonāt need to)
Work on getting it to play responsive and learn to bind. You can gradually get there with the velocity.
Donāt get a dark magic. Unless you want to spend another ten bucks on buying a bearing, do not get it. A protostar is way better and 5 bucks less. Donāt get me wrong the DM is a great yoyo but the stock bearing will crap out on you in a couple months. I really reccomend either a protostar or a velocity
haha. Thatās funny, I was actually thinking of getting a dm before this post lol. (thatās my first lol! Second one) now Iām deciding between the legacy and velocity
Iād have to agree with the Velocity. I started with a speedmaker, and I learned fine, but later I bought my sister a velocity. Then I crapped my pants. I shouldve gotten one, they are so great!
I was watching ashley do walk the dog, then I picked it up, turned the dials, and I was doing (most of) my tricks with no snags, or anything!
Velocity and strings. Thatās all youāll need. I have 25 or so yoyos including a Dark Magic and a Legacy. I keep a Velocity in my bag that I carry to work despite the fact that I could take any of my throws. I can throw pretty much anything I like with it. Itās stable, very durable, and a great all around throw. You can grind with it as well because the surface has a sort of beadblasted finish. Not to mention, YoYoFactory makes great, long-spinning bearings. The adjustable response also makes it shareable. If someone wants to try it out, you can adjust the response to suit their needs. Thatās another great way to spread the joy of yoyo.
