The ProFly is an excellent entry-level yo-yo. Its flared shape is ideal for modern string tricks, and the fixed wood axle keeps costs down while providing a link to the classic yo-yos of the 1950s and earlier. This is the best yo-yo for players who are 1st grade and younger, and for old-timers (no offense of course, we love them) who used to play WAY back in the day. The ProFly is one big step up from the Duncan Butterfly, and is the yo-yo most similar to the all-wood ones from the 50s and 60s.

Don’t forget strings! You’re gonna need ’em.
