We introduce recommended high-end models that are high performance and popular, and are also used in major competitions.
Rough types of high-end yo-yos
High-end yo-yos can be roughly divided by the materials they are made from.
Monometal
A single metal body yo-yo.
They tend to be cheaper and easier to handle.
(Crown, etc.)
Bi-material (metal rim model)
A ring of a heavier material (usually stainless steel or aluminum) is attached to the outer periphery of a plastic body.
They tend to have high rotational power and stability, and many of them still retain the feel of a plastic body.
(Luke, etc.)
bimetal
A ring of a heavier metal (such as stainless steel or titanium) is attached to the outer periphery of a metal body.
Since it is easy to create a weight difference between the center and the outer periphery, it tends to have high rotational power and stability.
(Crown.st, etc.)
Titanium Model
By taking advantage of its hardness and making the body as thin as possible, it is possible to achieve a weight distribution that is not possible with aluminum alloy.
They have great rotational power and stability, and tend to be durable, but are often expensive.
(Crown Ti, etc.)
Generally speaking, the lower you go in the table above, the higher-end model it is.
(This is not necessarily true for all yo-yos. Monometal yo-yos have their own merits, so this is just a rough idea.)
When can I start using the high-end model?
High-end models offer significantly improved performance in terms of rotational power and stability.
Manufacturing costs are high and so the price is often expensive, but you can experience the cutting edge performance of modern yo-yos!
Some people may think that it's for advanced players, but anyone can use it as long as they can bind, so it's no problem if your first metal yo-yo is a high-end model!
The high-end models introduced here are just a few, but we've picked out some yo-yos that you can't go wrong with!
