And yes, can a modified shape (like YYJ Sunset Trajectory) do string tricks like a butterfly shaped yoyo (like F.A.S.T. 201) ---

Yes, a modified shape can do string tricks, as well as imperials, but they’re much tougher with these shapes due to the narrow string landing surface. ---

Ape be more clear like the dude is new so yeah the Answer to ur question is yeas but not as good like a fast 2.0.1 is not the best thing for professional string tricks if u want a yoyo that is good for string strings and for around 20 $ get a YYJ Legacy for 22.50 $ and if u want a looping yoyo gt a pair of sunsets :wink: ---

All of them will work well. It’s all a matter of preference. You might want to just try out a few different types by getting some 5-packs. ---

for looping, go with 100%, for 1a, go with Polliester 100%, or 50/50 is good for either. ---

In your price range, the YoYoJam Journey is a good choice. Approx $15: [YoYoJam – YoYoExpert](http://shop.yoyoexpert.com/product/5/YYJ-Journey) String, slick 8 50/50 (poly/cotton) is good. Slick 6 50/50 is good too, but the type 8 will cut into your finger less as you learn.
