Hi guys I was wondering what the best yo-yo is because there are so many and I just don’t know where to start! My preferences are that I like to do string tricks. Also I was wondering because I don’t know how I should upgrade. My last throw I got was the Yo-Yo Ball and I got really good at Around the World. I don’t know since I am a beginner is there a better yo-yo than the Yo-Yo Ball? Thank you! ;D ---

Yes the yoyo ball is not really a yoyo, if you want to get a new throw get a velocity! Hope this helped ---

Yeah, definitely the Alchemy Silk. The Cold Fusion is a close second though. ---

Wow thank you all for your great suggestions! I was just thinking, wouldn’t it be great if the guys who run these yoyoexpert forums started selling yo-yos? That would be so cool because so many people are on the forums I mean why not? ---

Get one of those anglams, there are a ton of them. They’re perfect for beginners and are really cheap. ---
