What Yo-Yo Should I Buy?
I am looking for an intermediate/advanced yo-yo. Please give me your opinion on the yo-yo if you have one like it. MUST HAVES:
-Not too Expensive
-Butterfly Shape
-Ball-Bearing Axle
-Not too "Kiddish" looking
I would like a metal yo-yo, but if it's over $20, plastic would work.
Thanks for the help ![]()
Try to keep it around $20, please.
