A good yoyo to start off with is a YoyoFactory Velocity. It is adjustable, so you can make it responsive or unresponsive. 🙂 ---

I am fairly deep into the advanced section and I will say this, if you can drop the cash now skip the velocity, or legacy, and move onto a dark magic. It comes responsive but has an adjustable gap. On top of that, it’s weight allows you to easily move through the upper echelon of tricks. From a beginner’s view it really is an all around yo-yo. ---

I’d go with the Dark Magic 2. It’s a great yoyo for beginners and advanced. ---

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!
