The World YoYo Contest was won on the Shutter. With yoyoing, it’s not the equipment - it’s the player & what they can do with it.
People have preferences, but a Shutter or Horizon is all you need to go all the way.

+1, I got a shutter in a trade and it is a solid throw, worth finding one used for cheap, typically like $20 usd or less +shipping.
Yo-yo purchasing can be extremely habit forming, just a warning.

I learned my fundamentals here on this site but there are plenty of good resources once you get past the basics. You might find that you learn just parts of tricks as a starting point for something else with some creativity. I used to do that a lot with the CLYW cabin tutorials.

clean play in plane will help you with spin time more than a bearing ever will. just keep practicing and you’ll start noticing you have more and more spin time

You may not be throwing hard enough if you aren’t getting enough spin with a Shutter. Hand placement is huge for keeping the yoyo on plane. Throw a breakaway and land a trapeze. Now see how you can control the yoyo by moving your hands in opposite directions, one forward and one back. I find mastering this kind of control is essential. Even if I don’t have a perfect throw, I can still adjust the yoyo back on plane. I would highly suggest spending 5 bucks on the PDF version of the Yonomicon by Mark Mcbride. It was suggested to me recently and it gave me a foundation I realized I didn’t have. As with anything skill based, practice a lot and don’t get discouraged. And have fun!

This is a Magic YoYo T8 Shadow. They are 13 dollars. Most modern yoyos are playable and spin for as long as you usually need them to. It’s all about control. The yoyos you have are more than capable, you just need to work on your throw and your plane control.
