There are so many yoyos that claim to be beginner friendly but I don’t know or have any that I’d be totally comfortable giving to a kid. They either seem too advanced or too limiting. Just wondering what your opinion is. Thank you.

YoYoFactory(R) just introduced the ARROW. Set up for beginners but you can swap the bearing when they advance. Rugged and simple to use.

I’d really love an Arrow! I hope to pick one up in the coming months.

@zslane I love all my children (FAST201, Velocity, ARROW, WHiP, SPINSTAR, ONE, Dv888, HUBSTACK, LOOP360, REPLAY) allexcellent examples for the beginner.
