I remember having zero interest in the evil yo and thinking the Bape 2 was overpriced
The smoothest spinner without a doubt was my dri-wet. I have never thrown anything like it before or since. When I would throw a sleeper…it felt like it was just the string. It was amazing. It was the most beautiful also. My blasted Ywet from nationals and the dri-wet were my favorite players. The days of these type yoyo’s are long gone. All I have are the memories.
I love petrified wood. U have polished. Slabs with red or purple? I also like other mineral specimans and gemstones that have been polished into a flame or sphere or just a slab
Yo-yoing is fun because of all the different ones you get to experience.
I will second the point, but quality. Especially starting. Otherwise you end up with all these $40 yoyos you don’t really want anymore and can’t sell / trade.
My current number 1 is the AL7 Brass Arbiter x. I love this thing. 58g and that makes no sense to me. it’s super agile and fun with all the spin / stability I could need.
onedrop Cascade
Literally my most disliked OneDrop throw ever.
No kidding. But your right this is an interesting read. Take care.
Motive is my favorite for general purpose throwing. Mike montys momento is so much fun for leisure throwing/throwing for fun. Something about organic shaped throws have such a nice feel to them.
Dude his MFD Forte is phenomenal

Hydrangea quercus/magnolia

TP solenoid/positron/St Elmo
Broken yoyos sumo

Spinworthy knack (walnut)
This is how my Otter is. I have a lot of smooth yoyos, but it is the only one where I can pinch the string and feel absolutely nothing. Pairing it with the right bearing is more important than people think for that.
MFD Caesar Helium (might sell it though goes to show how much the best yo-yo really means when it comes down to it)
G2 BansheeSS
Throwing Sideways PWRhouse
G2 Covenant
G2 Life
I love all my little children and I generally try and rotate through them, but I certainly have some favorites that I tend to swap around more often in the mix. The two though that ALWAYS tend to make it in there are actually some of my first throws, and I still find myself just casually reaching for them.
MK1 Path and the OneDrop Sugar Glider
Sugar glider is fire!
Omnitron Noah
The power and speed is in another level compare to my other throws, but hard to control like a beast.
So I couldn’t pick one so here is the top 5 (in no particular order):
CLYW Klondike
Yoyofriends Pheasent 2023
SF Motive
Shutter elite
And an unreleased Yoyo that I have had the privilege to play with the prototypes and I can’t wait until they release at PNWR so I can get one for myself!
Overall I’m a bimetal guy. I just like the weight distribution that steel rings provide, but as far as mono metals go the SF cadence comes close to cracking the top 5
