Best yoyo in the last few years?

Hey guys, been out of the game for a few years. Wanting to jump back in, but I have no idea of recent developments?

I used a butter, and the wider shutter that had a machine to re balance the rims (forget what its called)

Favorite throw was turningpoint, himosu or something?

I like long sleeping wide yoyos, fast on the string. Enjoy technical tricks and long combos.

Whats the absolute best throw today?

honestly, watch some competitors, find your favorite, buy their signature yoyo

can’t really go wrong with this strategy if you just want a high performance yoyo

then if you want you could optimize for cost/materials/QC/durability/etc.

I think the Horizon 2, Wilderness 7075, Onedrop’s DS-61, Yoyofriend’s Peregrine X. The close to 48-52mm width is great.

In terms of speed (most to least): Ds-61, Horizon 2, Peregrine X, Wilderness 7075. Ds-61 also has the smallest diameter, so probably easier to do more technical tricks with.

Last, for stability (most to least): Wilderness 7075, Horizon 2, Peregrine X, DS-61.
Spintime is amazing for all of these. Will update once I get some G2’s in.

Best advice

Best is so subjective cause I would say some slim but oversized YoYo like the rcs seti or toss out the YoYo rec GOPA or go organic and say fd fluke or the asora or something but that’s not your jam it sounds.

Also most YoYo’s have long spin today so it’s just what shape do you want and what brand do you like

I’ve only had it for a day, but I see why people were hyping CLYWs Leaf, it is very very nice. Great power, stability and float. Probably my best all around-er now. It would say if could be a one and done, unless of course you MUST finger spin, then it may leave a little want.

OD Thruline is also killer imo, incredibly smooth, great weight and power, a bit on the larger side of diameter, but its is extremely satisfying to play. If you want side effects, the Kamuraiju gets a ton of well deserved love, it’s a killer slightly undersized powerhouse. Top Deck is also a very solid choice

MK1 Exia/ Brass Exia are divine, my BrExia feels like my high end luxury throw, it’s so so good

Shutter goes extremely hard for the money, like wow lol. I get why it’s so popular.

Everything else I have is either obscure to some degree, or definitely not “best” performers, but fun.

G2 Loadout is also a great all around throw, though I don’t “click” with it quite as much.

Motion gets a lot of praise as well, I really hope to pick one up when I can start collecting again, however I just spent my last “fun” money for the foreseeable future, so maybe I’ll do some trading eventually.

Leaf was very good, A tier yoyo for me. Weirdly enough I sort of see similarities to the peregrine x. both play powerfully and floaty

Did you try the ds61? wonder how the two compare. ds61 is obviously smaller
Shutter was one yoyo I put towards the bottom of my list. was never a fan for some reason :man_shrugging:

The Wilderness has been mentioned a few times and I would agree that it’s an amazing comp throw and it’s reasonably affordable. W1LD has also exploded onto the scene in the past couple years. It is very wide if you’re used to comp throws of even a couple years ago though.

If you’re tempted by that shape but want something a bit narrower, the Wilder is also killer (and plays a bit faster).

If you want something narrower that prioritises power and stability in particular then I’d recommend looking at yoyos with the Kagerou/Noir/Klondike/Sago type of profile (these are generally in the 45mm wide range). Of these I’ve played the Noir and Klondike and, while I lean Noir, they’re both great and I’ve heard good things about the others.

I will say none of those are really very similar to the Hinemosu though. The Mosu is rather at odds with most modern comp yo-yo designs with it’s width and slow play.

I will say the width is super nice! Didn’t take me long to get used to it. I have more of an issue with the diameter if the trick is more technical (still very doable, just takes some extra practice)

I have not tried it but heard it is excellent. It’s on my list!

I’ve really been wanting to try a Leaf

Build your skills! What you use isn’t really important….there are so many well made throws available today…. Just make sure you’re building those skills more than buying throws from bst! I find too many young or newer throwers falling into the hype!
Don’t do it guys-develop those skills….. practice practice practice!!!The more you develop those skills that are killer…you’ll end up throwing YoYo ‘s that are made for you from Gsquared, Atmos, Dressel Designs, FPM, General Yo, or another boutique YoYo shop! Build your skills! Make small but improved & attainable goals!
