My parents always get me string,yyj lube, response (IRpads) and gloves(I have 5!!!) but they said three more yoyos where fine so I’m getting off string yoyos please recommend three off string yoyos thanks ---

There’s some I want. Not sure if I want to make the investment. My choices, based on my limited selection: 1: Feista XX. my go-to for 4A normally. It can win Nationals, it can take you to #2 in the world. It’s therefore more than good enough for me. 2: Go Big. I carry this often since the rubber rims end up keeping it safe as it dangles off my YYE medium bag. 2: Shinwoo Griffin Wing. Cheap, durable, generous catch area, and the A-bearing really gives some serious spin times! Others I want are just way over-priced for me to want to spend that kind of money on, such as a sOMEThING JetSet. More reasonably priced items are the YYJ Equinox and ReXtreme. By reasonably priced, I mean “this is stuff I don’t mind spending the money on”. I would LOVE to have a JetSet, but I can’t justify spending that much money on a 4A yet. Lots of amazing stuff out there though. Right now, there’s too many hot 1A’s to collect and throw and share. I don’t limit myself based on styles. I think 2013 will increase the 4A’s in the collection. ---

I own the fiesta xx and I’m buying the go big (my first one broke, the rubber rims don’t protect if well from a puppy :wink: ) I bought the Shinwoo not very fond of it the yoyo fell mid play and the plastic cracked (it was the first time it had fallen off) I’m probably sticking to yyj throws every time I buy a 4A throw from somewhere else I find it poor quality or it doesn’t feel natural in my hand ---

My cousin wasn’t fond of the Hayabusa so I’m not sure on that one The hayabusa is greater than the flying panda by I mile.It’s great to practice with smaller 4a yoyos ,so you can get into the habit of making your catches more precise.Also if you’re competing ,it adds more of a risk factor to your freestyles. Take this for example: [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/3/3/b/33bd0f643e4e25f796a9a85624d59c8a94b30f17.jpeg "2011 Japan National Yo-Yo Contest 4A 1st Kazuaki Sugimura") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fl6z0mNvK4o) And if you want a wider gap ,it’s compatible with the pro z spacer kit. I’m sure you’ll be pleased with any choice you make ,but the hayabusa will always be a worthy 4a yoyo for beginners to competitors.  🙂 ---
