I want to get into diabolo. What's good know about it and what should I get to start off. Thanks

Get a fixed axle diabolo, not a bearing one. (Better to learn the basics on, before choosing to move on later). Get a "jumbo" size (5" diameter cups). Mr Babache Finesse, Henry's Circus, Sundia, Typhoon, are all nice models.

What site should I buy it from?

BKA

Well, there are loads of suppliers, but Renegade are a long-term, reputable company, and they are relatively close to you.

Oh, and Tiabolo is a good model too.

I'd go for a Henry's. At least here in Europe, Henry is the man for clubs and Diabolos. He's in the business for over 30 years and does his own research for materials and production technologies. You can't go wrong with his products.

Just my opinion - and I'm in no way affilitated with him, only a long-term happy customer.

Not criticising you using this forum but maybe asking around here might be a better place
diabolo.ca

I would go for Taibolos, but I have heard that Epic A-Dream diabolo is a good company too tough
But if you are on a low budget try starting off with a Jester diabolo or a Harlequin diabolo

But sorry I looked at your profile and I don't know any suppliers for the United States, but eBay might be an ok source

Currently my favorites, before that I was a fan of Mr Babache Finesse.
