I am a newbie and with all my hobbies, likely never gonna be that good at yo-yo but as a jack of all trades I want to learn. My interest is in responsive play. Just say hypothetically that I purchased a Gamer Lite, found an A-May-zing deal on a Confusion and Moonshine 1, purchased a El Mijo 6160, did I do the right thing? Should I have done something different. I’m looking for the play experience. My plans are not to be a collector. And don’t worry I don’t need to decide between purchasing black market baby formula and any yo-yo purchase. ---

You have a pretty solid set of responsive players there. As others have mentioned, a fixie would be nice, the RBC is amazing, and you might also want to eventually pick up a Weekender or Daytripper. ---

you snagged a bunch of really good yoyos. without having played the Moonshine 1, I think it would be most similar to the Gamer (62ish gram, C-sized bearing, with 21mm response pads in both) but thats hard to say. responsive yoyoing is a blast, enjoy the ride. ---

Appreciate everyones feedback. My original plan was to start with plastic then grow into the higher end metal but opportunities have come up to build the collection - then learn to use them. It’s addictive. I guess I am also looking for validation of my actions. ---

Allow me. ![PXL_20220105_185501759](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/3X/2/b/2bb2012930ad99d3ee3a5739a2951dc7a756a3ba.jpeg) These are all responsive yoyos (although I have a few more now…). While I’m not the best player in the world, I stand by my original comment that you have a good set right now. If I were starting my collection from scratch and trying to keep it minimal, I’d probably get: - Confusion or Confusion Ti - Gamer Light and maybe a Delrin Gamer if I could find one - Moonshine or Sherpa or Burner - Alleycat 650b or maybe the OG Alleycat - RBC - Deep State and/or Deeper State - Weekender and/or Daytripper - Freehand 1 - El Mijo 6061 Honestly, I really need to go through these and get rid of some of them… it’s just difficult to let go of them knowing that most of them aren’t readily available. ---

Of those that you got, I only have the El Mijo which I like. Good choice! I’d also enthusiastically second the recommendations for the RBC (in stock), the Day Tripper (if you can find one), and a wooden responsive like the Legend Wing or anything that @anon5341354 makes if you want something with a master craftsman’s touch. ---

If you find you really enjoy responsive then yea, get a fixie, tmbr and Spinworthy are the best of the best. Although I will say my wooden bloodcell plays a bit better then all the tmbrs I tried. Has a 4 hole response, non take apart. Always nice and snappy. ---

Lemme expand on this question. I saw someone suggest the Legend Wing. Well that one is my current fixie. What would be a good complement to this? Different yet also very good. I don’t mind if it costs a bit more. I see a lot of love for the RBC for instance? Would that be interesting to me in my onward journey of 0a? ---

> [@LX\_Emergency](#): > > good complement If you get into wood, look for a Tom Kuhn No Jive.

For what its worth my two favorite responsive throws are the Deep State from One Drop, and the RBC from MK1/Spinworthy. Strong shout out to the El MiJo from Zero Gravity my #2. The DS is a solid throw and for me great for learning new stuff, I like it because its not to responsive. The RBC feels light when throwing and is sometimes to responsive but great for refining/polishing what I’m learning. Cheers ---

So I attempted to best duplicate Malachi’s extremely impressive collection photo. Besides realizing my collection is way much more smaller, in doing so I found a gap. My question… dónde está el mijo 6061? No comprende.
