First of all, welcome to the Forums, Midnight! Hope you like it here! If you’re just starting out, I would recommend you stay towards the cheaper yoyos for now. Some of the more expensive yoyos are unresponsive, meaning you have to return the yoyo with a [bind](http://yoyoexpert.com/learn/030-intermediate-bind-returns.html), and not a tug of hand. The more expensive yoyos will be better for you when you are way more advanced into yoyoing, but once again if you’re just starting out I would suggest buying the cheaper yoyos for now. Here’s some highly recommended suggestions for you, they are great yoyos to start learning basic tricks, as well as intermediate sleeper tricks-advanced tricks: YoYoJam KickSide: [YoYoJam – YoYoExpert](http://shop.yoyoexpert.com/product/9/YYJ-KickSide) YoYoFactory Velocity: [Velocity by YoYoFactory – YoYoExpert](http://shop.yoyoexpert.com/product/28/YYF-Velocity) And if you don’t mind going a tad more expensive, here’s one that will take you from begginer to master: Dark Magic II: [YYJ Dark Magic II – YoYoExpert](http://shop.yoyoexpert.com/product/4/YYJ-Dark-Magic) Hope I helped! ---

Oh, then I would most definitely get a Protostar. I’ts a great advanced throw that can take you from intermediate to pro. It’s been used in a ton of competitions and have actually won. It’s possibly the most popular plastic yoyo ever, too. I have to say the ProtoStar is better than alot of metals I have tried/owned. It’s really really cheap, but it plays SO good. Don’t underestimate it just because of it’s price. I would recommend that you. > **[YoYoFactory](https://shop.yoyoexpert.com/collections/yoyofactory)** > > YoYoFactory was born in 2004 with a focus on functional technology to improve the playing experience.
