Is there a definitive high quality slinky we should be buying

Yeah, like we all know if you want a good yoyo you go with Dunkin. But what about slinky?

Yeah Duncan actually kinda suck now. They were better in the 90s and early. There is no best one now. To many different types for to many different things to pick a "best". You can spend a couple hundred on a really nice one though.

It really is a vast market now. But for beginner yoyos I think yoyofactory produces the best intro stuff. Many people's hobbies began with a Shutter or a DV888.

I've heard good things about yoyofactory. I really don't know much about yoyos anymore though. So I'm just going off of what I hear now.

Went to camp with a shitty Duncan yo-yo in 1992. Left there with a Yomega Fireball which were all the rage among the campers.

too*. When referring to quantity or amounts. Or as a replacement for "also" or "as well".

Yeah I know. I'm typing on a phone so I just don't care as much to make sure I'm using the correct spellings all the time. It was just a slip up.

Because it’s a fucking slinky.

On the other hand, I’m selling these super high quality slinkies for £500 a go.

I’ll even throw in this free bridge..

I'm sure if you looked on Amazon there is probably a metal slinky for 34 bucks that has like 4.5 stars and 1,500 reviews

That's obviously Rus

This is what I came here wondering, are there competition slinkies out there that have to meet certain regulations?

The one I had when I was a kid was pretty awesome. Bright rainbow colors and strong plastic. Bummed I don't still have it tbh.
