This is my opinion and is subject to interpretation but all of these yoyos either perform extremely well or are very fun and are from this year.
Honorable mention to the atmos Fuji and edition Forma too!
Featherspin twice!
Dang man featherspin coming through for you this year
Isn’t the Laze a Mk1?
Reading all of the different yoyos people enjoy is very telling of what style of yoyoers we all are or at least aim to be lol. I want to love the capsuloid but I haven’t tried it but you have a much more laid-back and chill average throw than I do for instance, where like 8/10 of my yoyos are compy yoyos despite not being able to get the most out of them. Unsurprisingly, seeing a person’s taste in yoyos tells a lot about them as a yoyoer, who woulda thought?
Corrected! Oops!
they did sell in US but under sam tho

This has been my experience with offset SS ring bimetals for the most part, they don’t have that same extreme rim weight feeling.
Thats part of why I like the netrunner and the hollow SS design element so much, it has a very similar level of agility in play to offset ring bimetals without really sacrificing stability or power.

Played a lot of stuff this year, but they were the most rewarding to play. Couldn’t set them down for more than a week.
Offset bimetals have a large diameter making them feel chunky. I really like some of them but especially the 60mm ones feel slow and floaty and clumpsy.
How does mustang st play?
It is one of the best yoyos I’ve ever tried. Plays exactly like heavier and more powerful TP st. Tempest, spins forever, has that typical TP heaviness but feels very nice. I very much like its shape and dimensions. I can say it is like more modern and wider Mustang ES
