Yo-yos for the progressing yo-yo player
Got a yo-yo or two and want to take it to the next level? Can't decide which yo-yo to buy? These are my recommendations for the undecided intermediate yo-yo player. These are the yo-yos that I know please most players. It is not conclusive. I would strongly suggest you spend a little time reading some yo-yo reviews on the web (try forums such as our shop forum). At this stage a serious consideration is your budget: how much do you want to spend? Also, which tricks do you want to learn? Do you want to try an offstring yo-yo, or try 2-handed looping?

Yo-yos I would suggest you consider adding to your collection are: any of the metal-rimmed yoyos by YoyoJam! If you want to try an advanced yo-yo that needs a bind, or you want to learn to bind without spending too much money, try the new YoyoJam Legacy or Auldey L3.

So my recommedations are:
YoyoJam Lyn Fury
YoyoJam Hitman or Dark Magic
Duncan Metal Zero
YoyoJam Legacy - brilliant choice if you want an unresponsive yoyo to learn to bind with.
Auldey L3: a very well priced unresponsive metal yoyo.

YoYoJAM Lyn Fury
The YoyoJam Lyn Fury is a lovely yo-yo for children and beginners!

I have never heard a bad word about these fantastic yo-yos. Every review is glowing. If you want to buy your first yo-yo, then this is my number one recommendation.

Pros:
Superb build
Robust
Ball-bearing axle system for all trick types
'V'profile for string tricks but very versatile
Very playable
Top value budget yo-yo.
Wide variety of colours with different colours being made all the time.

Cons:
Longer learning curve but you will go further with this yo-yo.
I might not have the colour you want.
Younger buyers might think it looks a bit 'boring' and lacking in gizmos like LED lights, fancy graphics or auto-clutch functionality.

Conclusion: This yo-yo is a capable player and will comfortably take you from your first tricks to advanced tricks. In my opinion - perfect!

Also consider: Speedmaker and the Kickside, both by YoyoJam. Similar quality yo-yo's but I might have more colours!
