10 Best Responsive Yoyos - April 2019

What should you consider when buying a responsive yo-yo?

While it is true that practice is most important to hone yo-yo skills, it can help initially to pick a yo-yo that will make your tricks seem fun and simple. From the many responsive yo-yo reviews published, here is what you should be considering before purchasing one:

• Yo-yo shapes: Yo-yos can be in the basic classic shape, a flared gap shape, or a modified shape:

  • The classic shape is the original, traditional model, and is great for standard yo-yo tricks.

  • The flared gap shape is also quite common; it has a wider, V-shaped space that makes it easier to catch the yo-yo back.

  • The modified shape is for an advanced level yo-yo player who needs it for looping types of tricks.

• Materials: Yo-yos come in wood, plastic or metal. The majority of the yo-yos today are made of plastic, though the wooden one is the most original. Metal yo-yos are made of aluminum. These are slightly heavier, which gives them longer spin time. However, these are most appropriate for professional players. Beginners are often advised to start with a plastic yo-yo.

Apart from the above, it would be worthwhile to also check the yo-yo axles and yo-yo strings, in order to purchase the perfect one for you!
