Help! Completely overwhelmed with choices on my return to throwing, looking for a good unresponsive plastic for practice - delrin/ poly carbonate. Maybe with metal rims, any advice/suggestions appreciated! Oh yeah, can you grind a frosted poly yoyo?
you can definitely grind on a frosted polycarbonate yoyo, the popular polycarbonate plastic recommendations for beginners are:
- c3 speedaholic xx
- recess first base
- iyoyo shooting star
- yoyofriends RIO
- topyo faceless

Hey Frodiger, thanks for the reply. I’ll probably go for the Rio, I was looking at them the other day. Need something I can chuck without the trashing it worry , been a good few years since I last used a yoyo.
I just picked up a wilderness PC because I was looking for a yoyo that could also fingerspin. I cannot vouch for the others but the wilderness pc I really like tho the others above have a fingerspin dimple also.
I generally stay away from plastic unless its machined.
I think the best playing/stable of the ones listed above probably is the Speedaholic XX. Ive been playing the Rio alot lately and it’s also fun just a little less stable. I like the Rio for it’s smaller diameter and overall shape. It plays a little more lighter than the Speedaholic XX. The First Base and I believe also the Faceless are not machined plastic/frosted so they wont grind as well. Just some small input for you.
If you can find one, I’d suggest the CLYW Big Dipper

Thanks for all the feedback, just about to go looking round Yoyoexpert for them. Anyone tried an i-yoto infinity x? Had a few great Delrin yoyos in the past.
For the price of most Delrin yo-yo’s you can get a good, cheap mono-metal.
