For sure. I been using mine alot recently. The only issue I have with mine is my binds slip sometimes, I been meaning to ultra grey it. It’s weird cause Tyler doesn’t seem to have any issues with binds slipping in his tutorials he uses with it.
I have that issue too sometimes. It just takes the right pad/bearing/string setup to dial it in. Even the same pads can be different, like the last mouse pads were slippy sometimes and the ones in there now are fine. Maybe its the bearing? Yoyos are weird

Current top 5 for the past week or so.
One Drop Panaroma Pink Cerekote

Luftverk EXOS
RSO End Pt II Prelude
A-RT Grail
(FH1 with unresponsive kk bearing for when I’m leaving the house, replaceable, and inexpensive enough to gift to a potential future thrower)

Haven’t been on YYE since 2021 it looks like. The thread lives on! I said I had 10 throws last time I was here and I wanted 2 more that I definitely picked up…No clue where 7 of them even are. My case of 5 is
SF DLRN
SF SF
YYF Aviator 2
G2 Arbiter
Sturm Panzer Schneider MK-II
I only ever touch the top 3 though. Got bored and impulse bought a plastic Peak and polycarb El Mijo today since they look neat. I barely play, so when I do, I’m bad. I just like stuff that feels simple and fun nowadays. Feeling like I “need” bimetals or anything fancy is long gone.

Here’s my current top 5 for the moment. I thought I’d update this before I start my bearing fast for February.
Panorama (this one gets the most string time)
Asora (I’d have the Asora SE on here but we’ve only just met)
Avalanche 2023 (such a great throw, it didn’t even need modernizing)
The End 2 (my favorite B-grade that goes wherever I go)
Fulvia (incredible performer, i use this for learning trick on)
I’ll be throwing a few YWET’s today too.

Deeply in love with all of these except the IQ, and I’m liking it more and more as I throw it. My favorite top 5 I’ve had in 6+ years.

Thanks! It has a lot of sentimental value. My mother gave it to me filled with…I don’t remember as a gift prolly 22-25 years ago and I held on to it and turned it into a yoyo case 10+ years ago. Sat on my desk for years and now on my nightstand. Women I’ve dated know that I like fishing but often not that I yoyo and have never asked what’s in the neat fish box 
If I was more open about yoyos, I’d definitely pick up a mini FOV case, they are awesome.

These are my top picks, for a reason or another I love them all.
Not in particular order.
-
One Drop Kuntosh 5kQV - Well… not in particular order, but this one really stands out for me. It has all I could ever want from a throw. I really hope OD will make another run of it or the OG, it would be the first throw I buy in multiples.
-
The End Pt.2 - You can feel it is an older design, yet it feels so good on the string, I am not surprised it’s still so loved by the community. Small and nimble.
-
Atmos Noah - I had a rocky start with this one, the first 2 strings I had on it broke within 5 minutes of play, letting the yoyo go for a wild ‘off the leash walk the dog’.
I think that was because the finish was a bit too sandpaper-like and ate the string in proximity of the bearing seat.
Passed the shock of having my beautiful new throw dinged in the first 10 minutes, and after a good amount of smoothing the finish with some jeans, I discovered the beauty of one of the best organics out there. Float AF -
Magicyoyo Z02 - Every time I see a post asking “what’s the best bi-metal?” my answer is the Z02. I won’t say there aren’t better throws in this category, but for the price this is incredible! It really deserves a space in this top 5 as it is my EDC and I love both the performance and not feeling overly stressed about the possibility of a ding.
-
One Drop Wizard - This one wasn’t love at first sight, on the contrary, I really didn’t like it that much. At the time I wasn’t a fan of bigger throws and it felt huge for my small hands. Then, after months of living in the case and several thoughts of selling it, I gave it another go. It wasn’t the yoyo that sucked, it was me! Now that my skills improved I could appreciate all the floaty goodness this throw packs. Slowly made its way up to the top 5 and I see it unlikely to move from it.
Honourable mention
Dressel Design Oasis - First SS I ever thrown and owned. I am still very much in the honeymoon phase but wowza, I’m super impressed, power, spin time, stability, comfort not to mention the sound! It really is a great organic! If this goes on top 5, it will be tricky to decide what to dethrone!
Honourable absent
CLYW Klondike - this is hands down the most performing yoyo i own, if I had to pick objectively this would definitely be in the top 5, probably top 3! But yo-yos is not about objectivity for me, and while it won’t stop amazing me, the spark is not as strong as with the others
