great….I’ve helped a lot, thank you!!!!^_^!!

i think this is a dumb guide. by dumb i mean that this video is telling “noobs” at yoyos to buy a very responsive yo-yo. if noobs were to by a responsive yo-yo and try to learn new tricks it will just make it harder for the noob. learning bind returns for un-responsive yoyos is part of the steps of becoming a yo-yo-er. so buying a yo-yo that cant sleep long and has very good response will just make it harder for the new person to yo-yo and learn new tricks.
@jagjag — Thanks for your comment. We recommend responsive yo-yos for beginners because, more likely than not, they need to learn the basic throws. The process of binding an unresponsive yo-yo is more difficult than any of the basic throws and we at YoYoNation consider the bind to be a few steps above beginner tricks. Basic throws and long sleepers are skills many practiced yo-yos players might take for granted. However, in the context of helping a person learn the basic motor skills for yo-yo play, an unresponsive yo-yo is not as efficient as a responsive yo-yo.
do u guys suggest the lyn fury for begginers????
The Lyn Fury is a great beginner yo-yo!
ok cool thanx
