That r/ thread got weird fast! Even humans, when all the decorations are stripped away, are just striving to survive. Food, water. Jack of all trades yoyo? I think this would be something that could decently loop as well as go through a decent amount of modern stuff. ---

There have been some really good suggestions already, and some wierd convos as well. But alas a jack-of-all-trades will still be quite different for everyone. I really like the Deep State and now carry it everywhere. It can do alot of fixed axle-esque type tricks and some 1a. But it will never grind, fingerspin, or do horizontal well. The Shutter is still in my opinion a great all-arounder. My preference would be the wide angle. It is really good and fun, mine is pink and green fade which catches the eye as well. I also really like the Turntable 2.0. I picked it up in the mystery box and it is awesome. It grinds really well with the matte finish, fingerspins for days with cup, and has all the spin power I could ever use with a really comfortable rounded hand feel. I am also really excited about the new Hotdiggidy 2nd run for a budget option. I just bought two to do a grey and blue half swap with my son. The new finish is really nice and it also has a small dimple for fingerspins. At 30 bucks it really is a steal! ---

Well I almost mentioned the Fianchetto, but the Jack-of-All-Trades was blurring a bit with EDC. The Parlay is in the same boat for me. I love both of those! ---

How is a yo-yo like the Draupnir a Jack-of-All-Trades? It’s about as specialized as they come, with a singular focus on competition performance. ---

I think some people are looking at this conversation as being “if I could only have one yoyo”. And that’s not really the same as “jack of all trades”. ---

Right, the full expression is, “Jack of all trades, master of none.” I haven’t played the Hot Diggidy, but it seems more like a yo-yo that fits the term, than some others that have been suggested. Then again, it was the OP who suggested the Draupnir… [Previous page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/best-jack-of-all-trades-yo-yo/296392.md?page=1) [Next page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/best-jack-of-all-trades-yo-yo/296392.md?page=3)
