What yoyo should I get for my sister’s birthday? She has no prior experience in yoyoing. Should I get her a Journey, a FAST 201 or a Kickside. I am trying to get her started in yoyoing. ---

I recommend the journey but the kickside is good too. They both will get her from beginner to intermediate 😃 Hope this helped. ---

Here’s a tip for giving presents: Try getting a gift that you would give to yourself. Think of a yo-yo that you wish you had when you started yo-yoing. ---

I think that Journey is a great choice for beginners. :wink: ---

Does she have interest in yoyoing? Because if she doesn’t, pleasepleaseplease, don’t push her. I tried to do that to my brother, got him a speedmaker, and then made him learn tricks, eventually he wanted a M1, so I got him one, and then he gave up. 😢 But if she does have interest, has been playing with your yoyos, then get her a ceclon by YYJ, that’s what I would recommend. Lyn Fury, Journey, Speedmaker, they’re all great choices, but I think some of them might be unresponsive. ---

For beginners I would go with a YoYoFactory’s Velocity, it’s the best because you can set its responsiveness without needing anymore things (like lube and all…) I know this by experienced since I teach yoyo to a friend of mine and the Velocity is the best. And yes, I own a Lyn Fury and I still consider the best beginner yoyo would be the Velocity. This only express my opinion on the first yoyo to get to anyone :wink: -J ---
