What kind of $40 yoyo are you after? Metal? Duncan Raptor/Echo is great. High-end Plastic? Probably any of the YYF plastics mentioned. Bi-metal (YYF style)? Probably the DM2 or other variant within that price range…whatever shape floats your boat. ---

Duncan raptor or go on over to the b/s/t for 35 you can get a protostar or a northstar for 25 you can get a starlite for 30 you can get a pgm 10 you can get a whip, one, or stackless pgm. just look at the different yoyos offered for cheap. the best metal for 40 though I’d say is hands down the raptor. ---

My experience is my own. I’m gonna say that for $35, the Protostar or Northstar, depending on what your preferences are. If you’re willing to break out of the price barrier you’ve imposed upon yourself, the DM2 comes out nice, as well as the dv888. I hear good things about the Shinwoo Zen series at $45. ---

Protostar or Northstar. You get a Center Track Bearing, I think its a plus… But if you want a metal, than raptor it is… ---

As you can see, they’re unable to pick 1 good throw at $40. Realistically, they’re all great throws and more than capable of any unresponsive trick in the world (Except maybe grinds). Just me personally, I would go with the Raptor. ---

My vote for top of your budget, Duncan Raptor or Duncan Echo. My vote for less than budget, YYF Starlite or Duncan FHZ Light up. ---
