Kickside would be the best choice.

The kickside is great but I think that the new Legacy is yyj’s best plastic right now

The original poster wanted to keep it around $15. YYJ still makes some good plastics in that range.

I won’t waste time arguing if the new Legacy II would be a better choice. It likely would be.

I like the legacy but for $15.00 price range there are others. yyj speed maker looked like it plays well

If you want a large-sized yoyo, get the Kickside. If you would like something smaller, get the Lyn Fury.

I heard somebody made the Lyn Fury bearings spin for 6min. which sounds completely ridiculous to me but it is up to you weather to believe it or not.

I think a lot of claims of excessive spin times is a lot of dingo’s kidneys, but the bottom line is a well broken in bearing in the hands of a skilled thower can in fact produce decent numbers. Some yoyos are designed for maximum spin, such as the Buddha King,which seems to only serve one purpose: win the longest spin contest.

I improved my sleeper from 20 seconds to over 3 minutes now, but a dead hang doesn’t serve any usable purpose. Someone a while back was worrying about sleep time, and it’s been determined that it doesn’t really make a big difference as long as you’ve got enough spin to do what you want to do and then bring it back. Someone threw out a guess that chances are champs are going around 10 seconds between returns. I did some non-scientific observations and found that in general, that number isn’t terribly inaccurate. I’d bump it to 12 seconds, but a random educated guess wasn’t far off.

So, sure, I guess 6 minutes is possible. But how fun is it to just let a yoyo spin and hang for 6 minutes. THROW THAT BAD BOY AROUND!! Me personally, I have better things to do than to run a stopwatch and throw a yoyo. I’d rather learn new tricks and improve my skills.

I know that trying for best spin is boring but if it can sleep for 6min. then you will be able to do better tricks then a yoyo that can sleep less than one.
