Ya know, OneDrop isn’t the only company out there
No, but they might as well be! Booyah!
Touche good sir, touche
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!
Fixed.
Hey, there’s one g2 in there
I do love your Parlay though - such an awesome fade

I wanted to bring this back since my top has changed quite a bit lately!
Grail - Akita - Scout - Vayder - Statement
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:
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!
My top five for 5/5/2020, couple of rotations since last year
- CLYW Gorge
- Basecamp Sherpa
- TMBR Maple Sullivan
- A-RT Quail
- One Drop Deepstate
I’m not a big fan of half swaps, but that Sherpa looks great! Very subtle.

Edit new Murmur stole second place.
