The great thing about YoSpins is that it doesn’t cost a lot of money to get started. A beginner can buy a sturdy, durable YoSpin and a pair of handsticks for around $25. Of course, as your skills improve, you can purchase fancier and more expensive YoSpins.
YoSpin Manufacturers
One of the best-known and most reputable YoSpin companies is Mister Babache. Mister Babache--or Mr. B-- a Swiss company, produces three very popular YoSpin models — the Finesse, Millennium and Harlequin.
YoSpin models usually are available in a wide range of bright colors.
Choosing a YoSpin
When selecting a YoSpin, consider size, weight and materials. Most people use plastic or rubber YoSpins.
Generally speaking, medium is the most popular size. This is a great YoSpin for kids and beginners and it works very well for most YoSpin tricks. Medium YoSpins are around four inches in diameter and weigh seven ounces.
We highly recommend Mr. Babache’s Millennium if you’re purchasing a medium YoSpin. You’ll see lots of kids with these models. The Millennium spins nicely and is very sturdy.
Large YoSpins are around five inches in diameter and are ideal for tricks. They are easier to control and provide good balance. But because they weigh more, large YoSpins are harder on your arms. Mister Babache’s Finesse is regarded as the best large YoSpin.
YoSpins also are available in two other sizes: Small and Performers.
Choosing Your Handsticks
Beginners should start with standard YoSpin handsticks made of hardwood with holes in the ends for string.
If you want to get a little fancier, the standard handsticks also come with plastic grips.
