You started a thread yesterday about the same thing, and said you will be getting the Raptor, so just get it.

Seriously, if you’re going to buy a yoyo, buy it. Don’t post 40 topics about each and every one you’re considering, which bearing to use, what color to get, etc. It just makes people annoyed.

I realize this forum is supposed to help people choose a good throw, but after a certain point you need to make a decision yourself.

No need to make so many copies of the same topic. Raptor all the way because the price range you’re inferring us, Raptor is the best buy.

You won’t get it wrong, we gave you the best recomendation we could on the other thread.
I don’t have a lot of money either, but in today’s market, you won’t be buying many crappy yoyos, just pick something that looks appealing and buy it, chances are you’ll like it.

By “real” yoyo,do you mean unresponsive? if you are getting an unresponsive, then i would get a raptor, but if this will be your first yoyo, then i suggest getting some duncan lubricant and some thin lube too,

Yeah I feel you dude. I had to learn double or nothing and Buddha’s revenge on a Duncan imperial. Later I moved to the U.S. and had the chance to go to a yo-yo contest. It was so cool I tried competing in a free style and was O.K. I guess but kind of messed up from stage fright. Afterwards though this kid came up to me and recommended a yo-yo for; It was the dark magic. I loved it because it was responsive and I was able to get a ten minute sleeper. but anyways feel lucky to be getting a yoy-o at all.
