Andre, can you please sticky Samad’s “No YoYo is Better Than the Other”? You might want to tell us what you like in a yoyo. What size? What shape? Have you ever thrown another yoyo? If there is a contest near you, that is a great place to talk to people and try out their yoyos. I guess I would recommend a DM. And buy some string too! ---

I recommend a dual o-ring hitman. I don’t like the hybrid response system found in the dark magic. ---

dark magic is a good choice. It is concidered “full size” which means it is a fairly large yoyo. My favorite yoyo in your price range is the x-convict, it is a bit smaller and lighter than the dark magic and feels more comfortable to me. ---

You have to tell us what style, shape, etc. I would recommend a Hitman, Speeder, or Dark Magic. ---
