I’ve just started yoyoing since this morning and so far I know few tricks like binding, split bottom mount, and such. Right now, I’m using Big Ben just to start as beginner.
I like light yoyo that sleeps for a long time (1A).
Any yoyo suggestions for me?
Its something that is totally preference. I like the weight of my Dark Magic, but I also like the weight of my PGM. It will just take owning a few yos to understand what you like and what you dont.
The Dark Magic and Legacy are similar, but the Dark Magic has Metal rims, and the legacy is plastic.
The Legacy also has a larger gap.
The New Breed is huge though.
I Reccomend the Legacy or Dark Magic, the nNew Breed is hard to bind if you’re not too good at it. I have good binding skills and still have a tough time binding.
The Legacy is like that, but easier to bind, the Dark Magic can bind with no problem, I reccomend that to start.
True, but begginers don’t really have a preference.
This happens with other companies too, but YoYoJam yoyos are still good, generally speaking.
As for the stuff about preference: as you progress in yoyoing you will end up trying out or getting different yoyos and through that you will start to figure out what you like.
I also got my Dm unresponsive out of the box, but i guess it is just a flip coin. I have also heard that they no longer factory lube the bearing as much, so its obviously less responsive. Danny, id get some thin lube with your Dm and some string, strings are very important. As for the, when should i get it thing, since you know how to bind, i agree with what JM said and get it now. Great yoyo and an excellent learning yo. Im working my way through advanced with it, but im like you a nooby.
My guess is that the lube dries out while in stock. I got a black Dark Magic about 4-5 weeks after it was restocked and mine came unresponsive. This might seem weird, but we had a thread on something similar to this.
So far, I’m planning to get a Dark Magic, thin lube, and possibly an o-ring (from the vids) just in case… Anything else that I might need?
and I have 2 other questions. I’m still kinda having problems with the bind return.
Whenever I bind, 70% of the time it comes back up normally but 30% of the time, it makes a knot. I’m trying to get 100% accurate bind. can you guys help me?
and what type of strings should I buy along with DM?
But that kind of annoys me, Like when were helping people, a lot ask if a Dark Magic will come responsive or unresponsive, and we can never give a straight answer.
