I know this kind of post has been made multiple times, but it is on page 10 by now. 😃  
Anyways, for each style, list your favorite yoyo, trick (say “I don’t do this style” if you can’t do this style), and yoyo if you have one.

Mine:  
0A: Planet Hops, Loop 900 (no players really do this style, they mostly do 2A)  
1A: Gentry Stein, Malificent (one I made up), Summitt  
2A: Joseph Harris, Tangler (although I can’t do this style, I just love watching this trick)  
3A: Patrick Borgerding, I can’t do this style  
4A: Ben Conde, Leg Wraps, Xodus II  
5A: Takeshi Matsuura, Bee Sting, 2012 Genesis

What about you guys?

My favorite throw overall has to be the breakaway.

The forward pass is my favorite 2a and 4a throw, though.
