I have a dv8 and an n9 Magic yoyo and I was wondering, what would be the best 3rd yoyo to add to my collection? I like to do slow technical tricks and I would like to get introduced to finger grinds but I’m not sure what yoyo to buy considering that there are tons of yoyo made for grinding. I would like the yoyo recommendations to be relatively cheap due to the fact that I’m only 14 and I don’t have a job yet and I have to save money up from chores and stuff. Thanks! ;D ---

Look like you need something stable, long spinning, good for grinds and medium-paced. I’d suggest the Shutter or TooHot. If you’re willing to spend a little more, you might want to check out the Gradient or Aftershock. ---

Too H.O.T and Czech Point are good players. The Too H.O.T is a relaxed player with an amazing catch zone and sits nicely on the fingers for grinds. I attached a few pix of mine, can not put it down. ---

Wow, thank you all! I actually bought 2 yoyos, yyfs too hot and the iyoyo steel and boy, they are both the smoothest yoyos I have ever thrown 8) I’m thinking the next yoyo I should buy is a H.S. Phenom because I do have 80$ saved up already… 😛 ---

Phenom because I do have 80$ saved up already…  😛 Happy to hear you went with 2 of the throws I was saying even if it wasn’t me that convinced you. The Steel is a top notch throw and should do well for you. I would however pass on the phenom. It’s just a bit on the older side these days and plays a bit heavy. It might be worth it to save up for the slasher which really outperforms it: > **[sOMEThING](https://shop.yoyoexpert.com/collections/something)** > > sOMEThING is Japan's latest yo-yo brand presented by the world famous Japanese yo-yo store YoYoAddict, owned and operated by world champion player Hiroyuki Suzuki! ---

> [@akka0710](#): > > Acro > > Surprisingly better than butcher I had the complete opposite experience with the Rebellion yo-yos, preferred the Butcher much more than the Acro. To the OP - I own an iYoYo Steel as well, one of my favorite yo-yos. I find myself going between the Steel and YYF Cypher for daily throws lately, so if you like the Steel and Too HOT then the Cypher might not be a bad choice. There’s a nice contrast between them and it would give you a good variety. Yo-Yos are all personal preference though so take what everyone is saying with a grain of salt and just get whatever you think you’ll like. ---

> [@akka0710](#): > > acro feels more expensive and is not vibey Not sure what more expensive feels like, but the Butcher is more my style and wasn’t vibey at all. Plus I prefer the blasted finish over a polished one. It’s all personal preference in the end though so people are bound to disagree which is “best”. ---

It’s all personal preference in the end though so people are bound to disagree which is “best”. Maybe I’m the only one with the vibey butcher. When I look at it, it’s not vibey, but when I put my finger on it, it vibes…
