Big, heavy yoyos, with H-shapes or rounded shaped is what I like best. But I’m fine with anything really. As long as its a yoyo ad it spins.

same like mine…  
I like that kind of yoyo also…

But it’s just my preferences, different with others…

and like Paolo said, as long as it spins it’s okay…

The kind of yoyo I can put on the finger of a beginner that came up to me when watching me play and got up the courage to ask if they could try.

My yoyo preference would be…  
65 to 70 grams, a gap of 3 - 5mm with good rim wight for those long spin times, colour any colour is good, flat open rims for finger grinds and a nice smooth finish for hand and arm grinds, and mainly a rounded shape because its what im used to.

I’m with Samad, variaty is nice. I currently have a Bully and a Skyy Chacer as my metals and they play on opposite ends of the spectrum. The Bully is big and heavy, while the Skyy Chacer is light and agile.
