What is The Best Yoyo? - Guide

so you want to start yoyoing or maybe you're just looking for a new yoyo to level up your skills and add to the collection but you're not sure what to get well I'm Gentry Stein the current world yoyo champion and today I'm going to help you find out which yoyo is best for you I'm gonna go over my top 8 yoyo recommendations everything from the best yoyo to learn the DNA with and go godspeed the best beginner yoyo first metal yoyo and more let's jump into it with number one the yo-yo master pack this is the best overall set for beginners it includes three different yoyos it's the best seller on my website gentrystan.com for a reason the first yoyo that it comes with is the spinster it's super easy to learn how to use throw the yoyo do some basic tricks like the elevator or Rock the Baby as you can see it still spins for a really long time and it's really easy to tug back to the hand once you've got through the basics with the spin star you're ready for the next yoyo in the master pack which is the one and this actually has a ball bearing on the inside so this will spin a lot longer than the spin star and it's going to help you learn more intermediate level tricks it's still meant for responsive style play with the yellow comes back to your hand with a tug but as you start to learn string tricks where you're Landing the yoyo on the string that bearing is really going to help you with that the first two yoyos in the master pack will perfectly set you up for all that responsive play until you're ready for an unresponsive pro yoyo if you don't know what an unresponsive yoyo is it just means that when you tug the yoyo up it won't come back unless you do a trick called the bind which looks like this I have a full tutorial on that I'll link that down in the description the master pack also comes with five extra strings to keep you going while you're leveling up to unresponsive play let's string up the third yoyo in the pack which is the replay Pro I actually use this yoyo to win the US national yoyo contest and I designed it right after I won my first world yoyo Championship with the goal to create the highest performing plastic yoyo at the lowest possible price the replay Pro can handle any trick you throw at it and all together the master pack is the perfect set for anyone wanting to get started yelling number two is the arrow which is by far the best yoyo to learn the DNA with becomes responsive so it's easy for beginners to use and it does come with an extra wider bearing for unresponsive play once you level up to that the reason the arrow is the best yoyo to learn the DNA with is because it has these finger spin caps and this metal finger spin piece that's specifically designed to spin the yoyo on your finger and do the DNA with so all you have to do is throw the yoyo down at an angle and wait for the yoyo to tilt onto your finger then just keep your hand above the yoyo and you're literally doing the DNA the arrow makes it that easy and it's also great for other yoyo tricks as well number three is the shutter which is the best first metal yoyo the shutters the yoy used to win my first world yoyo contest and it's been the best selling metal yoyo of the last decade for good reasons the shutter is perfectly balanced it can handle any trick you throw at it and really it's set the standard for what a good metal yoyo is if you're looking for your first metal yoyo the shutter is the one number four is the best yoyo for DNA tricks the DNA let's get it spinning on the finger just to show you how good this thing actually is a couple years ago I did the DNA for the first time on Tick Tock and it ended up launching a total viral yo-yo Trend and now the DNA is the most popular yoyo trick in the world so I designed this yoyo specifically for the DNA to handle any type of DNA variation you can do it's the yoyo that was used in the ultimate DNA battle video on my channel and it's the yoyo of choice for a ton of other players who are putting up crazy DNA variations on their own social media the DNA should be in everyone's collection especially if you're looking to keep up with modern yoyo style hit some dnas yourself and maybe even post some viral yoyo content which Speaking of the fifth yoyo is quick note all the yoyos in this video are available on my website gentrystan.com the links in the description so if you're looking for a new yoyo that's the place to go I appreciate the support back to the video the best yoyo to go godspeed with it is the godspeed similar to my story with the DNA angel 2 up created his own social media sensation with his signature godspeed yoyo trick with a few creative minds in the help of Yoyo Factory he created his first signature yoyo specifically designed to go God speed so if you want to go Godspeed this is the yoyo for you the next yoyo is the best yoyo to land super difficult tricks with it is the shutter wide angle this is the oil I used to win my most recent World yoyo championship and as you can see it's based off the original shutter the main difference is the wide angle is quite a bit wider which helps you hit all of those super hard tricks or even if you're just looking for another yoyo maybe you already have a shutter the wide angle is a perfect Next Step it's going to help you level up get you doing those bangers and those harder tricks it really makes difficult tricks easier the seventh yoyo is the best yoyo to improve your trick accuracy it is the steel shutter the steel shutter is the exact same shape and almost the exact same way as the original shutter but as you can see it's significantly smaller you can achieve that same weight and high level of performance because the yoyo is made out of a hundred percent solid stainless steel and the reason it helps with trick accuracy so much is because the yoyo will Spin and perform just as well as a regular shutter at that smaller size so it's really going to help train you to be able to land your tricks much more accurately you carry this yoyo around and 100 you will notice a huge difference in your trick accuracy this is one of the keys for me winning my most recent World yoyo contest is actually using a small yoyo I don't know why more players don't do this going from a small yoyo and then back to your regular size yoyo or even a yoyo that's a bit extra wide it feels like you could hit literally any trick you could think of it makes you feel like you're playing on easy mode it's also an amazing pocket yoyo because it's so small it's super easy to take around with you anywhere and all around it's a really fun yoyo to have in your collection last but not least the best bi-metal premium yoyo is the shutter Evo this is the most recent yoyo in my line and it's really a revolution for bi-metal yoyo design most of the time bi-metal yoyos have the steel rims on either the outside or the inside or maybe on the inner rim of the yoyo but the shutter Evo I actually has a fully wrap around stainless steel rim is what really allows us to push so much of the weight toward the rim and it's actually 40 grams of solid stainless steel on the rims and you can really feel it in the stability and the spin times of this yoyo and on the topic of bi-metal yoyos I have one more yoyo to show you it is the new Miracle shout out to mirror and Miri Kim from Korea I actually have a video dropping with them very soon but their new yoyo is absolutely amazing and I also offer it on my website gentrystein.com this yoyo is really cool if you're looking for a high performing and unique bi-metal yoyo it actually has rims that are made out of brass along with this plastic Rim shield around it so it's not sticky on your hand when you're playing with it it gives a super unique feel when comparing it with the Evo they're two completely different yoyos which is why I recommend both of these if you're looking for a high-end premium bi-metal yoyo if you have a question about any of these yoyos drop a comment down below and I'm happy to chat with you in more detail so we can find the best yoyo for you
