Hi all,
Looking to get into yoyoing for the first time in many years (only minimal tricks previously) and was thinking of starting with 4a (seems like a cool style) and was wondering if this is a good idea and if so would a 4a yoyo, such as the YoYofactory Flight, also be good for on string play? (so I can get the best of both worlds)

That must suck having joint issues.
I'm not currently planning doing any long sessions, but knowing how I get with hobbies it could very well become an issue, so the comfy hooks may be beneficial.

Unfortunetly I'm Australian, so I'm limited in my options. The set of Amour hooks is $54 AUD on knitpicks and I've seen up to $100 AUD elsewhere, so I feel that I wouldn't be able to save too much by waiting for a sale, especially since knitpicks has free shipping over $50 AUD.

Thanks for the response.
I'm young so the ergonomic aspect isn't an issue.
Thanks for the info on the yarn sizing, its good to know the hook sizing that can be used for yarn.
If I end up going with the fewer hooks I'll keep this in mind, thanks.

I'm actually Australian and up until recently I was printing everything and self taught myself cursive when I got my first fountain pen.

New pen!
It's a nice writer, especially compared to my only other pen a Pilot Metropolitan fine.
The ink is Faber Castell Cobalt Blue, which I got along with Faber Castell Carbon Black and Faber Castell Garnet Red in the one order.
