Are you interested in learning how to yo-yo? Not sure where to start? Then this is the yo-yo for you! The classic shape allows beginners to learn the basics.

The very first type of yo-yo was a fixed-axle. This is what most of your grandfathers have played with. It has no bearings and will not come apart. Fixed-axle means that you've got a metal post connecting the two sides of the yo-yo body.. The string rides directly on the axle.
The fixed axle is great for starting to master basic tricks. You can wind it up, give it a throw, and you'll see that even with a fixed-axle, you can still get it to sleep and come up and down.

This shape is made for style of tricks known as looping tricks. It features a really narrow string gap so the yo-yo can shoot out fast and provides maximum control when you're throwing it.
While this is a shape and style of tricks that goes back almost 30 years, the shape is still very popular. At the competition level the skills have progressed to simultaneous two-handed playing. Better start practicing now!
