I’m sure opinions will continue to develop once I get past the honeymoon phase but so far, I’m impressed with the Deepest - so far it is the most comfortable to hold (like No Jive comfortable). With a bit of setup (I swapped to spikes, did my own “grease bucket” treatment), I’m pretty impressed with these! So far it’s taken what I loved about the Deeper and plus’d it with the addition of side effects, and a little bit more wall for better stall control.
Currently using my normal Monkeyfinger Vines on it - tried the thick string that came with it but wasn’t quite used to how it felt, couldn’t get tight planet hops with it.
Update 1: Ended up swapping out the stock One Drop strings to my little bit thicker Monkeyfinger Vines. Now we’re talking - clean moons. I’m sure everyone will have their own preferences on what feels right for them - the stock string was making moons “too tight” to where it would go in on itself. I imagine the fatter string would make the moons super wide. Now to challenge myself - how moons can I do before I either knock myself out or muscle memory kicks in and I end up sticking a lunar landing?

With the grease bucket it’s about what I wanted. I imagine it would be a fun slim line unres too but I like how it plays in responsive atm

Idk if I like the Deepest State or the grease bucket. I’ll be the negative Nancy here.
Thoroughly unimpressed with the set up out of the box. Plays kiiiinda responsive but not enough to do anything with IMO. Just responsive enough to be really annoying. Swapping in a grease bucket has this exactly where I want it. Snappy but decent sleeps, a weight distribution that makes sense. Feels awesome. But if I would’ve just got this stock, I feel like I might’ve given up on it.

The recessed ultra grey with a conkave bearing and HKMT Toru string plays just how I hoped! Brass UL seem perfect for now. I have taken a very chill responsive throw and made it into a pretty punishing 1a yoyo! Spin times are alright, the largeish diameter helps for sure. It’s already a little centerweighted and the brass UL add even more but I feel it does need a liiitle bit more mass for 1a so I’ll take the trade. No problem getting through my usual long combos, just gotta lock in more because any imperfections will tilt it. Have to enter the deepest state of concentration to focus on playing clean. I bet if I play some wide yoyos after a while of practicing on the deepest state it will feel like easy mode.
I like it a lot, I knew I could make it do what I wanted when I saw the design, and yoyoing got where it is today because of people playing with their toys “wrong” anyway 
Maybe I’ll get some normal colorways from a future run and make them into 3A torture devices

Ok so I’ve put some time in on the Deepest and feel like I’ve gotten to know it a bit more and hopefully out of the initial honeymoon phase. It still stands that I’m really enjoying this iteration. I’ve been throwing my BC Apollo/Blackbird and other similarly-shaped throws (TK No Jive, Sleep Machine) and this is giving the same energy. It’s very comfortable and laid back, or as I like to describe it as “comfort food” or a “comfy pair of shoes.” I’m continuing with the spikes as I’m enjoying the pull start-ability, much like having matador spikes on a 1a yoyo. I don’t have many responsives that can easily pull start from the hub aside from the TopYo Brick (using the spinning plate lego brick), or any that have the dimple (which I’m still not very good at pull starting those). I still want to get a hold of those grease bucket bearings but until then, some Danco Silicone Grease is working great and super snappy response even at lower RPMs.
Despite the yoyo having a somewhat smooth-feeling finish, I can still tape measure with ease, which is also something I like to use quite a bit.
In the end, the Deeper and Deepest States have to be my favorite C-bearing responsives.

This nailed it. That “comfort food” comparison is spot-on. I use mine daily just to unwind, the pull start and smooth spin make it perfect for those quick sessions when you don’t want to think too hard about technique
