Well, then the world wouldn’t have any _actual H shaped yo-yos_, which I adore … but other than that your point stands. There is no such thing as a bad one drop or even a mediocre one drop. They’re all good so it is a spectrum of “good to great”

Fair point. I love the H shape too. But I think I love One Drop more, on the whole. If there was only going to be one yoyo company left in this world, I’d willingly sacrifice the H shape to have that company be One Drop.

I like One Drop a lot but I would not go that far. Variety is the spice of life, or something like that!

Tough to say what my top 5 is right now, but I know for a fact the circle city hero would be on it. This thing really surprised me because it looked like a competition yoyo, which it can be because it has so much power, but on the string it feels really floaty and has a kind of old school feel. Kinda like a larger 5 star

Just went through the past two years in this thread and figured out the most named throws, here is what I found with the amount of times each throw was named to the right of the throw:

- Grail **V**
- MC **IV**
- Top Deck **IV**
- Kuntosh (OG and 5000qv) **IV**
- Chief (7075/OG) **IV**
- Quail **III**
- Hummingbird **III**
- Life **III**

Didn’t realise how often my current top 5 would change. Here they are anyway:

 ![IMG_20191006_165854](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/3/f/9/3f99e1e26398ee9f9c19668abea2875f0d4d8dc8.jpeg)

In no particular order of greatness:

CLYW OG Yeti  
YYF Ti Dream  
ILYY Liopleurodon  
TMBR ehKnown  
CLYW painted OG Peak 2

I love the material of the Yeti. Fairly resistant to hits and bumps and has a nice surface texture for grinds. Wish we had more YoYos made of this stuff. The Ti Dream is normally my go to yoyo if I’m going for a walk or a hike or anywhere I can potentially ding it. It already has battle damage so I’m not affraid to give it a bit more, because I know it can take it. The ehKnown could be one of the best fixed axle throws made by human hands. Nice even weight and a great size for catching stalls and shooting moons, it’s got a nice smooth finish too. The painted Peak 2 is just so fun to play! Always loved the Peak 2 and this painted one gives me the opportunity to pretend I’m throwing an OG but not have to keep it locked away on a shelf.

These will all probably be different in a couple of months though!
