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
