The Misquito (easier, and more availible) or the legacy (between responsive and unresponsive) would probably be your choices that I would throw out there. ---

Get a Velocity. You can adjust it’s response system to make it completly response or dead unresponsive. ---

Oh, quick question, can you bind yet? If not, the Speedmaker is a great choice because if you tighten the gap all the way, it’s nice and responsive, but when you’re ready to bind, you can loosen the gap and have a great unresponsive yoyo! Don’t forget to order some thick lube to help keep your yoyo nice and responsvie while learning. ~Jump ---

i never held a yoyo for tricks so i do not know binding yet XD im a COMPLETE beginner but like, if the 1st i practice is Binding…would i still need thick lube to make it responsive again? cus if the 1st think i learn is bind i’d start unresponsive play so i wouldnt need it right? ---

No, you start responsive and then learn to bind. If you buy a Speedmaker, then alos buy thick lube to go with it. ---

OK, if i where you, in your situation, I’d get a legacy with some YYJ thick lube to keep it responsive while learning, then by the time your ready to play unresponsive you can just clean the bearing and it will be nice and unresponsive. 🙂 Johnny. ---

Duncan Freehand from Toys’R’us $15. 😛 Will carry you from beginner to advanced tricks, can carry you to master but for some reason everyone believes you gotta have metal these days. lol IMHO, it’s the best Plastic out there.
