So… four things.  
1)What’s the best bearing out there/size?  
2)Is the best string Poly?  
3)What’s the best yo yo you’ve seen out there?  
4)I just like telling my mom these things and knowing them 😛

Yoyo - GSquared Albatross, fits everything I do and looks good to boot.

1. I am a massive fan of trifecta and how they make cascades play
2. Grand Rapids Yoyo Co. Powercord series 🙂
3. I’ve been throwing the cascade exclusively for around two months now. It’s not for everyone, but it’s an amazing yoyo.

Or, they correctly interpreted the word “best” as “your favourite”. People are allowed to have favourites.

I suspect you and I are of the same opinion, though: even interpreting it as “your favourite” I just don’t have anything I’d put on the line as my absolute top favourite. I have all kinds of different bearings in all kinds of yoyos, most of which are using different strings.

Maybe one day I’ll narrow it down to a favourite bearing/throw/string combination. But today’s not that day.

You could do that. Or:

- Yye, yyj, or yyf bearing. Cheap and will work fine
- Get yourself the new bearing and save old one for the classic
- Monkeyfinger Design Rhino tool, which includes a bonus bearing!
