Few days to go and its Christmas time once again. It is the
season where many of us have lots of money to buy gifts, new stuffs, foods etc.
And now, many of us are planning to buy new yoyos but the
number one problem is which one is the best yoyo for you to buy.
Whenever I’m online in facebook, I always see questions
asking “What is the best yoyo?”. Some of examples of these questions
are;
“Which of the two is
the best for 1a, Raptor o SFX?”
“What yoyo is good for
SLACK play?”
“What is the best yoyo
for 5a?”
“DUNCAN Hayabusa or YoYoJam
Fiesta XX?”
“2a yoyos: Modded Raider/Fireball or Loop900?”
Honestly, there are a lot of good yoyos that we can buy
today. There are a lot of varieties and hundreds of choices to choose. Every
yoyo has different identity like some yoyos are good for SPEED, yoyos best for
LOOPING, most durable yoyo for playing 4A and many more. With these options you
can possibly know which one is the best for you.
But before you buy and get a yoyo, here are my useful tips for
choosing the perfect yoyo for you.
Tip #1 Your Wants
Knowing what yoyo you really wanted to have. Just simply
choose the yoyo that you are interested. You can choose a lot from different
brands and types of yoyo. You can also choose a specific yoyo that your
favorite player is using. There’s no limit for choosing as long as you can
afford to buy a lot of yoyos, its okay.
Tip #2 Your Preference
Think of what are the qualities of a yoyo that you are
looking for and what will suits to your playing style.
Do you prefer V-shape or round-shape yoyo? Heavy or light weight
yoyo? Do you like yoyos that are best for grinds? Standard size yoyo? How about
undersize yoyo? You want a bi-metal yoyo? Plastic or metal yoyo?
Base your preference for choosing the yoyo that you want to
have.
Tip #3 Know the Specs
You can found in the internet the specifications of a yoyo that you
are interested. You can see it also in the webpage of the yoyostore. It
indicates there the size, weight, shape and the other specs of the yoyo and you
can see the photos of it.
Tip #4 Read the Reviews
One of the easiest to do before makes a decision. Just read
the feedbacks of the people who have tried the yoyo first. I usually do this if
there is a new yoyo that I’m interested is out in the market.
Just search at the online yoyo forums like yoyonation,
yoyoepert, theyo etc. for the review of the yoyo that you are looking for. The
reviewers post their observation about the play of yoyo if it’s good or not.
Sometimes they also write their comments about the durability of the yoyo.
I recommend checking yoyoskills.com and singaporeyoing.com.
These two blogs post yoyo reviews especially YoYoSkills.
Tip #5 Try the Actual Yoyo
You can ask the other players to borrow if they have the
actual yoyo that you are interested to have. Play it and know if it really
suits to your preference. Just be careful on playing the yoyo because you’re
just borrowing it to give it a try. And also ask to owner and others who have
tried it to know their reviews and comments about yoyo.
It is not really hard knowing what yoyo you really want to
have. There are many of good yoyos to choose and you only need to know your
preference then find the perfect yoyo for you. Hope these tips help and made it
easy for you to choose.J
