I haven’t paid attention to new yoyos in quite some time (over a year roughly). I’m looking for something very fast paced, stable and light weight. Metal preferred. About a 54.5-57 diameter and 41-44 width. Any recommendations?

Hummingbird and Flashback are both great options!

Yeah, anything similar to a Draupnir would fit nicely into those specs - also see the Haymaker X.

I think victorian is right with the og edge. Its a little wider than your taste, and a bimetal, but checks off everything else.

Hummingbird(Releasing next week I believe), WindRunner and Radius fit the bill for play style and size you’re looking for:

These are a little outside the dimensions you’re looking for, but definitely have the fast/stable/lightweight feel.

If you are on a budget I would recommend the Sync, it it super stable, fast and feels a tad on the light side, but not too light.

When you said “very fast paced, stable and light weight” I immediately thought of the Hummingbird. I honestly wouldn’t even consider anything else if you don’t have one of those. I got one because it kept popping up on the “yoyos you must have” opinion threads. That and the Draupnir were honestly the two most often cited throws I would see. It’s everything you described in what you are looking for and falls exactly within your spec prefs.

Its the same yoyo but different colorways. We are also trying to make an outer ring all out bimetal sometimes in 2020 hoping it will match or surpass hummingbird, but we got at least 2 projects coming up so they will be going first.
