What are you looking for in a yoyo

I want your opinion on what you like or want to play with

I mean, that’s a pretty huge and vague question. The answers are likely to be equally vague. If I tell you I like a ā€œfunā€ yoyo, does that help? Nope. After all, what is ā€œfunā€ to me vs what it is to you? Or if someone else says they like a ā€œfastā€ yoyo? Same deal, what is ā€œfastā€?

Rephrasing your question with some more specifics may get you more interesting/useful answers.

The qualities I generally look for are:

  • Long, powerful spin
  • High stability
  • Comfortable shape
  • Light (65g or less)
  • Narrow (under 46mm)
  • Narrow gap (under 4.60mm)
  • Minimal or no engraving
  • Solid color finish, preferably in red, blue/aqua, gold, or purple

In a yoyo; I mainly look for an axle, a bearing and response pads.

They are usually in the middle.

The yoyo must weight between 63.4 and 63.5 ounces. Come with an everlasting 18 foot long string.

And have a built in duck whistle; generated by a spinning motion. That way; if you are good at shoot the moons; you can use it for yoyo for low altitude Duck hunting.

Also ; dual stereo speakers with Bluetooth connectivity is a plus.

A yoyo with tricks included is a ā€˜positive’ for sure.

Other than that; not really very particular.

This could possibly be the best paragraph I have read on this forum.

Nothing specific spec wise, but i like yoyos that aren’t sluggish. I found that this has very little to do with the sole weight of a yoyo tho.

I agree, pointy yo-yos are never nice.

Did you pick up a death adder? It matches up perfectly with what you like from what I can tell

Pocket friendly is important to me, since most of my yoyoing is when I find time throughout the day.
