I almost never recommend YYF yoyos because I don’t like Ben, but the Genesis and Supernova are both widely used competition yoyos and many players have great results using them. If you’d prefer something more unique, I’d like to recommend the CLYW Cliff. I got one about a week ago and I’m very impressed with it’s characteristics. I haven’t had a new yoyo in quite some time, but I have thrown just about every major release of the past 3 years and can say with confidence that my favorites of the whole bunch for competition are the CODE2 and ILYY Fury (although it is very rarely used). ---

Anyways, Chief is great for any slow to medium paced player. ---

I think a shorter list would be which modern yoyos aren’t suitable for competition. ---

> [@LinksLegionaire](#): > > I think a shorter list would be which modern yoyos aren’t suitable for competition. I would agree. There’s so much good stuff out there these days. With people competing with stuff as “low end” as a WHIP, Classic, PSG and Asteroid, and other time-proven cost-efficient models STILL making the competition circuit, there’s not a whole lot that isn’t suitable for competition. ---

I agree, most yoyo’s released now are worthy of competition, it’s mostly about style or preference.  YOur best bet is to go to a contest or a club meet, get your hands on as many different throws as you can and try them, then pick a size and shape you like.  Or just buy a Gelada and be ecstatic with how awesome it is :wink: > **[MonkeyfingeR](https://shop.yoyoexpert.com/collections/MonkeyfingeR)** > > With top notch anodization and high performance designs, MonkeyfingeR bring a unique blend of classic and contemporary design offering a new and unconventional "spin" on return tops and accessories.    ---
