Hi! If you are visiting this blog you are probably a yoyoer. If not, here is a guide for beginning yoyoers. You will probably want to start with a Yomega yoyo, such as the powerbrain XP. It has what are called clutches, which make the yoyo come back up if you don't throw it hard enough. It also has a "smart switch", which can turn yoyo into a non-automatic if you use it. Another good option would be the basic Brain. It does not have a switch, so if you throw it lightly it will just pop back up, but if you throw it hard it will sleep for a bit, like the XP. Never buy a Duncan yoyo. They used to be good, but now they are just horribly made pieces of plastic. The Duncan Imperial is about as good as a penny tied to a string.
When you get a little better, then you'll want to start using what is called a transaxle. A good option would be the Yomega Fireball. It has a transaxle, which is a round piece of plastic with a groove in the middle for the string and a hole for the axle. A guide to bearing yoyos is coming soon! You can get all these yoyos at
Yomega.
WOW! I suddenly have a strong desire to yoyo!
ReplyDeleteAnd not with a penny tied to a string! Thanks for all the good information. I'm looking forward to learning about bearing yoyos next!
Thank you!!!
