Another 5/5 and a top 5, since my Top 5 hasn’t really change much in the last few years, I’m taking a page out of @Isaac 's Playbook from last year and listing my Top 5 Sherpas that are all set up unresponsive;
-
2019 White Out Edition was first release at the last in person 2019 World Yo-yo Contest in Cleveland at the Basecamp Party. Mine isn’t quite that cool, this was from the second batch cause the hype was real. Went all in and put in a Gold NSK CT. This one tips the scales of freshness, it feels like porcelain and can hang in a china cabinet with Lladro’ figurines when not being tossed.
-
Aqua and Green Bape Swap with Gold NSK CT. I like playing my beat B Grade so much that was in my truck, I needed this minty one to play when I got home and its set up like the White Out, but with that nice blasted Sherpa finish and Bape look. It just pops with yellow strings.
-
Blue from Games of Berkley, was an EDC for most of 2018 and has a Crucial Groove Bearing in it. Still one of my few premium throws that I was able to buy from a brick-and-mortar store when I was in the Bay Area. I really got intimate knowledge of doing Magic Drops with this one.
-
B Grade Stamped Brown and Black. Proud B grade stamps on both halves and this one lives in my work truck, so it gets played a few times a week in places that can be hard on Yo-Yos. It has hit the ground, metal gratings, the side of the truck and has been frozen multiple times during the last few winters and it still plays great. I still can’t detect any vibe, just good vibes and it looks tuff with all the scuffs. Sometimes I play the same string on it until it just gets crusty and I love every throw on it.
-
Purple New In Box, What would be a Top 5 of the same yoyo without one fresh and never strung up in a box? This purple colorway doesn’t come around too often.
