so my friend wants to get a yoyo to play with me, he threw me a 20 and said get what ever. The kid is the most uncoordinated person i have ever met in my life. I’m pretty sure he hit the wall with my atmosphere 3x trying to throw a sleeper. So i need something that is pretty rugged. I was thinking of a velocity since its in his price range and has the adjustable gap. do you guys have any suggestions?

Kicksides are really tough, or maybe a lyn. lyns are more responsive and they are just great all around, thanks for spreading our sport!

in my opinion, since the lyn has double o ring response, while the kickside has hybrid, the lyn is more responsive with a thick lubed bearing. but thats just my experience, i dont know about your guys’ experiences

The kids I teach at my yo-yo club really like Duncan Dragonfly’s, Mosquito’s, and Flying Squirrel’s. All of which are cheap but good starter yo-yos. I personally like the Dragonfly’s better.
