I have 2 unresponsives, a speedaholic xx and snack yoyo and was wondering if you could recommend a good mono metal yoyo for about 50 dollars or less. ---

Shutter is always a classic, get the wide angle version if you’d like something wide. Sengoku Ashigaru is a great “jack of all trades” and has been my go to workhorse for years. Lots of great options out there. ---

Shortcut is great for a powerful mono at $30. Pheasant monometal and gravitony are also really good at $45 and has the stronger 7068 aluminum ---

Two fine yoyos! Both in my collection! MagicYoyo V8 and V10 can be had at really cheap prices below your budget. I cant recommend those enough, especially if you find them on sale. I second, er third or fourth the Shortcut. If I was looking to add another monometal that would probably be it. I dont have one though its just high on my potential purchase list but seems redundant to me based on my own collection. The MagicYoyo Z01 focus is 40 and bimetal. Im fond of mine i like it alot especially for the price. There are other $40-$50 bimetals on YYE too. There are also a bunch of $50ish yoyos on sale right now on YoyoExpert, so you cant really go wrong going through those options and picking one or two that appeal to you. Ive never seen a bad review of the metal duncan freehands. They are around $55. So is the One Drop deeper state, rain city skills show pony or Author. ---

As others have said, there are a lot of great options under $50. My personal favorite yoyo is the YYF CzechPoint Pivot, which is just a tad over your budget new, though you should be able to find one on the BST for ~$35. It’s the most powerful yoyo I’ve used (more so than any of the 6 bi-metals I’ve tried); it’s also quite fast and stable. Truly can handle anything you throw at it besides thumb grinds. > **[Czech Point Pivot](https://shop.yoyoexpert.com/products/czech-point-pivot-yoyo-by-yoyofactory?_pos=1&_sid=a52947ea7&_ss=r&variant=40141919223998)** > > After a year of development YoYoFactory is ready to introduce the Pivot series of yo-yos! This technology, which started with the Basecamp Sherpa yoyo and continued with the Mystery Box, is being released for the first time on a modern performance... I’ll give another pitch for the Shortcut. It’s very powerful and incredibly high quality for $30. YoYoFriends makes so great stuff, and this one is no exception just because it’s cheaper. It does play on the heavier side if that matters to you. ---

I’ll mention the uppercut! It’s $45 so right at ur budget and it’s awesome! I just got one and have thrown it everyday for 2 weeks straight. It’s organic but I would say it’s a performance organic for sure. The things plays fast and insanely stable. More stable than a lot of of my other yo-yos! Because of the big response bump it’s almost like an H shape with enormous rims. That’s one way to look at it at least but I do consider it a true organic at the same time. Just get it you won’t regret and the new ann bubak colorway is crazy dope ---

I followed @KirbyRobot ‘s review for the Graviton Y, which is $50, and it’s crazy good - nimble, sensitive, lively, and hits way above its price range.
