I know that all 1A yoyos are capable of 3A but I also know that typically unusually heavy, big and/or stable. I’m just listing off yoyos from my collection that I know fit at least some or all of those categories. Which one do you think I should a second one of?
YYR Valkyrie
C3 ROOC
DD Monarch
C3 Speedaholic XX
Luftverk P. Fulvia
Mowl M+
0voters
Conveniently all of these yoyos are already in at least decent condition vibe- and performance-wise, so I just want to buy one to get a 3A set. I might go with one of the plastics anyways just to practice with
Yes but the problem is that i would have to buy 2. Which is what I’m trying to avoid. If I was more flush I would fire away on a pair of those very quickly.
Whichever one is the cheapest tbh, and something big diameter not crazy wide I’d think for more stability. I dont play 3A, but thats what I’d go for if I was learning
Just to start a speedaholic or fulvia can be ok I guess but going with the tricks probably you will have to upgrade, for a low price you can get x2 cyber crash 2 for around 65 dollars and will be basically the price of a monometal or you can get x2 recognitions for 80 dollars more or less, if your one is a curiosity you do not need to spend tons, go with the cheapest plastic and start with the basics if you like it you still in time to upgrade.
Do not worry about wide yoyos, I have one top yo noema which is a 3a yoyo and a super performing (bit heavy) 1a yoyo and is quite wide, 2 of those will be too expensive but just to show you that wide yoyos are very fine for 3a as well
Valkyrie >> Mowl M + > C3 ROOC > DD Monarch >> P Fulvia > Speedaholic would be my guess
With that said I agree with others if u have budget for another Valkyrie I’d just get 2 Titans. I’m almost certain they’ll be better than even valkyries for half the price. It’s inspired by some of the best 3a models ever made and made by a great designer. I’ve already preordered 2 myself.
Idk who the people voting for the speedaholic are but that’s a terrible choice if the above are your options. Even if you wanna go uber cheap I’d much rather get 2 MYY N12s instead.
As an XX owner I feel that it’s being suggested due to durability primarily. That thing is nearly indestructible lol. Also thank you for the ranking list. I appreciate it.
It is simply the cheapest option for someone curious to try the style but that maybe will put it in a side after 2 days, I will start low and then go high instead of maybe just waste money and stay with something that will sit in the case forever
Yeah I agree the durability of the bimaterial yo-yos might be sketchy. But again if you’re really looking to spend as little as possible and still get something decent, for the price of another speedaholic I’d much rather just get a pair budget MYY metals like N12 or Node.
If you want to go cheap I’d order 2 nodes as they will perform well for about $30 depending on deal. My biased tack is to order 2 Titans as they are very inexpensive for this exact reason. I wanted to make a yoyo that was able to be bought in a pair for the cost of some of the higher-end single throws. The metal, ring placement and attachment style all went into how I made the Titan to help make it hold up to abuse. I let my toddler run around banging it into anything and everything and its still holding up great. Another non-biased take is to look at BST a lot of people sell slightly beat throws for very cheap.
Honestly the Titans look really good. I just need to get good at 3A before I get them. I hope they sell well enough that you do a rerun of them when I feel ready to upgrade to them.
You don’t need a dedicated 3A pair, just start practicing with two yoyos that you don’t care about damage on and see if you even want to take the style further.
You don’t have to buy before you try 3A. Then you can use your own preference based on your skill to determine what you want if you want a dedicated pair. Considering buying anything more expensive than myy N11s or N12s or something seems like a waste.
