    I had a frustrating experience recently where someone was asking me what they should get and I directed them to the First Base on YYE and they saw all the options and then wanted to start out with a more expensive metal one. When I told them it won't do them any good to start out with metal they seemed to take it as "metal is for once you're really good" and they kept arguing with me no matter what I said. I really wish I could just get what you said in this video through people's heads sometimes.

      I started with a cheap duncan imperial to learn to throw, then I moved to a yoyo king merlin to learn some basic string tricks and got decent with it, after that I went to a yomega maverick(partly unresponsive) to learn and practice basics binds. After that I got a yoyo king grind control(unresponsive) but it was cheap so I used flowable silicon and the indented bearing(from the grind control) and modified my yomega maverick to completely unresponsive and can do tons of tricks. And on order now I am getting the yoyo factory heist which is a tiny yoyo to practice accuracy. That's about it. I started extremely basic and can now easily do unresponsive and many string tricks and I've only been at it for 3 months(I also practice at work because we have a lot of down time lol)
      Tl;dr version: start basic and work your way up, learn yoyo maintenance, and have patience

    Great advice. 3 good beginner magic yoyos are the N12, T5 Overlord and the Node. The Node especially looks and plays well above its $13 price tag. I'd say stay away from high walled unresponsives, they are so very unforgiving. All in all superb council.

    • @kennyyo2705
      @kennyyo2705 7 років тому +3

      Actually, an unresponsive Whip or a one is kinda good because it's less stable and forces you to be better. If you had a forgiving yoyo like a draupnir (rich boy) then their style will be sloppy when they get better. I got this info from Sam Hicks

      I probably wouldn't want to start an actual beginner most high wall yoyos. Yes it forces you to be clean but responsive yoyos already do that and they might get frustrated and quit. One of my first throws was a YYJ Revolution and if I hadn't already purchased something better I would've been pretty discouraged.

  • @highTideWaves
    @highTideWaves 7 років тому +5

    I feel like that people should definitely start on a plastic responsive. Metal responsives... They're a bit dangerous. I mean, you're giving a person who has no experience in yoyoing a chunk of metal that may just randomly try to return to your hand. If you don't know how to do the very basics (throwing and catching), you can't control the chunk of metal spinning at a high speed and it either has a high chance of hitting your hand or breaking stuff around.

    • @PassTheSnails
      @PassTheSnails 3 роки тому

      When I was new to throwing, I remember practicing loops with a fizz only to slam the thing into my sternum after a missed loop. I felt it for a week, but i’m sure i’d have felt it for the rest of my life if it was a metal responsive.

  • @LilyPenguin123
    @LilyPenguin123 Рік тому

    I got a starter kit, came with the spinstar, the arrow with the responsive bearing in it (came with an unreaponsive one too for later) and a replay, i waited a bit to touch thw replay cause i wanted to start with basics before i went into binding. Still dont use unresponsive ones often yet, as im still learning resonsive stuff. But i will practise binding a couple times a day so when i do get to unresponsive yoyoing i have binding down already. (I also picked up a godspeed yoyo, bcuz i wanted a purple yoyo, and my fiance loves blue so the purple and blue godspeed was great, hasnt arrived yet. But thats def gonna be a later yoyo

    I started off with a Duncan ProYo. When I got a knot, I forgot that the yoyo was meant to sleep and didn't realize it was meant to sleep after I got a Sage. The Sage was not very responsive for me, and in my opinion slightly overpriced. I recommend the MagicYoyo K7. It has hubstacks that make it easier for your first throw, and it is metal for long enough sleep times. It is super snappy and much more accessible across the world as most beginner yoyos are from the USA. This can be found on eBay for around 14 AUD. And once you have moved on, you could get an unresponsive bearing or a N12/M002. They are great for their price and about the same price as the K7 (the M002 is a bit more, 20 AUD). MagicYoyos seem dodgy, but they work great for beginners.

    I so I like how I'm seeing all these different Duncan models and designs. Cause I currently stand firm behind yomega and their any variation of the raider, weather it be the 1988 original, hyper, the stealth, or the ex. Who's design I might add has not only preformed in the highest levels of competition, but who's origanal patent holds their value if not increases over the years. With no real noticeable difference the basic raider released in 88' vs its 2020 edition. Even tho the original it self was and still is one of the most versatile yoyos to date. Despite haveing multiple variations of the platform, they all were built with the same specs. The other 4 or 5 variations variations sporting different profiles for different core applications, but still able to show high versatile proficency in all environments.

    I'm a massive fan of the Duncan Pro Z for beginners...especially if they can find it at a local walmart.
    Comes as a responsive slim...but can be made into a wider unresponsive.
    I mean it's not the greatest thing out there...but it works and I love the idea behind it. It's capable enough for all the intermediate/advance tricks and I'm even using a second in the slim mode to learn to loop.

I had so much fin with it I got to looking online and ended up spending around $10 for a Magic Locus V6. It was fantastic, cant believe how much these have evolved.

    Nah, the Duncan butterfly is a great starter yo-yo, I started off with it, and it can definitely spin longer then 3 seconds. If you can throw a straight throw with a butterfly then you learned how to throw the right way. And I feel like the butterfly makes moving on alot easier. I'm currently teaching my friend to yo-yo and I have him a butterfly and he learned way faster then my other friends ( and I used to give my other friends a dv888 to teach before I started to use the Duncan butterfly ).
