In no particular order: JT Fergus: Agree with basically everything mable said about it, Fergus feels really good and I am probably going to get a second one at some point. Crucial Maple: Already got 2 of them! I like it with caps off, and with caps on! It’s a real banger unresponsive. Plays very light and powerful with caps off. One of mine’s vibey out of the box but like, it’s wood, lol Spinworthy Flying Lemon: It’s sick. A tiny yoyo with the soul of a big yoyo. Praying for a second run like everyone else. I loved pretty much every yoyo I got this year too, but these were the first ones I thought of. ---

The freshly dirty untitled 74 had been a go to a fair bit of this year The rio is the best light up yoyo I’ve played so far the poly berry has been my favorite plastic this year Metal capsul has been the most unique and interesting yoyo of the year The asterisk held my attention for a long while The plasm was my favorite responsive till the deepest state dropped then it’s been my go to the rest of this year, Not sure if it counts but the queen bee has been very fun I love the flying lemon. I’ll need to replace the one that was lost at some point… ---

Not going to include the dunk PC cause Its too new Mk1x sw plasm has lived in my commute bag since I got it. Easily my most played release of the year OD deepest state Ive realized I’ve been playing more older releases this year than new releases. JB chunk, Wilderness 7075 and '23 miracle were probably my most played yoyos of the year, and the speedaholic xx has been my commute unresponsive (might get replaced by pc dunk or wilderness pc) Ive picked up some great new yoyos this year, but my favorites of those are re-issues My favorite re-reeleases/reworks of the year: D-bearing firecracker Capped hypernova Speedaholic XX Dunk5 ---

Rainier was released last year. edITION was my favourite release this year. The stock Deepest State is really good; but edITION’s stock greasebucket, FLUFF, beautiful sight lines, and half-n-half colour scheme make it completely sublime. ---

That would depend on your preferences as they’re quite different yo-yos. The Enigmatica has a more relaxed pacing and doesn’t want to go fast. It feels medium weighted in play but the weight feels rather dispersed due to the larger size. It has a 5mm advantage in width so it’ll be better for zoning but I’d still describe it as a tech focused yo-yo which has great stability and power and it’s _amazing_ for rejections. I don’t think it’s particularly suited to speed combos. The thin outer edges do make it a bit sharp if it hits your knuckles. It’s very good value and the recent splashes look great in person. The Copper is also great for rejections and is a very good tech yo-yo, though it is plenty capable for zoning/zontals similar to the Enigmatica (while it’s only 45mm, basically all of that is usable catch zone). It feels much more solid and compact in play, leading to improved manoeuvrability/change of direction and a bit zippier pacing. It’s similarly very stable and powerful. It’s also the first Empathy I’ve used that has nice rounded rims so it won’t be too bad (relatively) if it hits your knuckles. The copper rings will oxidize over the time though of course so be aware, and it is rather expensive, so it’s not as good value as the Enigmatica. Both I’d describe as tech focused but in quite different ways that fit their players (Enigmatica for bigger, flowier slacks while lots of small movement/changes of direction for the Copper). The Copper has really grown on me over time while the Enigmatica was an instant favourite when I first tried one at worlds. Hopefully those descriptions are helpful. ---

Flying Lemon is number one, just a blast to play and hold, that little bearing is magic. Deepest State is Second, extremely durable and reliable responsive, and mine feels a little extra special because of how I received it. Plasm would be number 3, it’s just so freaking good and comfortable, just a fantastic YoYo. Best responsive plastic ever imo, just doesn’t feel quite durable enough to keep in my pocket 24/7, but has worn in so nicely from the times I do carry it and play it a bunch. CLYW Leaf gets an honorable mention. It’s not my favorite throw right now, I think I need to tinker with the response, but it certainly has its own presence. I thought of selling or trading it off but I’d be kicking myself. I’m not sure what other 2025 releases I own, I mostly buy second hand, so I will keep it at that. EDIT: OH MAN I ALMOST FORGOT Edition Forma!!! It’s fantastic, definitely top tier mono imo, go get you one! ---
