Odd, I never had a problem getting mine to return in the conventional manner. Very rarely was I not able to flick it up normally. I was still able to do tricks for a good length of time, too.

This brings back a lot of memories. In high school, yo-yos suddenly became very popular and most kids were using yomegas.

That's so cool, but looks real tricky.
Now that that's out of the way, I need a good yoyo.
I'm considering the yoyojam speeder cos it looks cool.

I've been to a couple of yo-yo competitions over the last few years - unbelievable the level of tricks nowadays!

YAY! Finally one of these.
I'm on a few yoyo forums.
Check out theyo.com forums, and their store (theyostore) is the best place for this stuff.
Yomega is generally bad, and the best duncan is considered to be the FHZ. (But not unless you sili recess it. )
for a beginner... YYfs velocity is great.

And that's because most modern yoyos are unresponsive, meaning you can tug them up to the ceiling and they won't return. They need a bind. Or else a lot of the tricks we do would smack your hands, unless we did them super smoothly.

And I'd avoid henry's, if I were you. Really old stuff. Good when they were new, but... tons of stuff has changed since then. And YYF's pretty much been dominating the plastic and metal market, as far as affordable stuff goes.

Here's a vid aadfisherman posted on there from his meet.
Just a bunch of random people yoyoing.

Thanks for the info.
So YoYofactory is good..
How is YoYoJam?

 

[Hiphopapotamus]

YoYoJam Speedmaker - it's great!

 

[120717]

Cool. I think the Speeder is a speedmaker with metal rims.

I'll get this.

 

[Kitling89]

Brain's were definitely the way to go! Made it super easy to rock the baby, etc...

material's different. speedmaker's celcon through and through,
and yes, YYJ is good. But the speeder really isn't a good beginner yoyo, and the velocity, lyn fury, kickside, and speedmaker are. (you can take the sidecaps out so they don't look so... )

 

[120717]

Well, in that case I'll get a YYJ Journey, instead of a speedmaker, AND a Speeder. I'll keep the one I prefer and attempt to sell the other here, and then on eBay.
Thanks guys, I would've been confused without your tips.
LOL yo-yo help on an audio forum...how obsurd

i always thought these looked really sweet

[120717]

I have no idea what that's from iriverdude, but I'm gonna try and find that metal ipod. That's either clear or a sweet mirror finish, I'm guessing the latter.

*edit* Found it...$99 :O ...seems like an old one too. I don't like the idea of buying old tech.

I used to do work in San Francisco in the 90's and there was this juggling
store on the pier called Capitol Juggling and I got an SB2 from them.
Well after that I found out that Dr Kuhn had a store in SF so I used to
go right to the store and buy his yoyos. The wood ones are beautiful.
