I got a big pile of cash for my (early) birthday, so I’m wondering what yoyo I should get. I would prefer spmething floaty. Also should I get something now, or wait for the next run of yetis. Please make suggestions below $80 shipped Edit: screw the $80 and under thing. I’ll make it $120 and under because it’s about time I need a high end throw ---

I had a Yeti. Honestly, it’s not worth the hype. If you want floaty just get a Code 2 from the BST. ---

I have 2 code 2s and although the shape looks like it would be floaty imo its not floaty at all. in my opinion float yoyos would be… Summit Avant Garde 2 Chief Cascade esp w ul ses Bonfire have heard but haven’t played myself: Wrath Code 1 HOT the thing is words like floaty and solid are very subjective. where one person thinks the code 2 is floaty I find it almost the complete opposite, some people would say throws i listed they don’t find floaty but no one is wrong, so really its up to you and your definition of floaty ya know? I think my list is a good place to start. good luck ---

Try the Duncan Raptor. It has a very floaty, responsive feel. Not responsive like grippines, responsive like it does what you say. It’s my second favorite yoyo. And it’s it’s only, what, $40? ---

Diamondback is soo floaty that it feels light like it’s hollow. This may sound bad but with th light hollow feel makes it’s maneuverability and manipulation seemless ---

Code 2 is not floaty. Code 1 is very floaty. Under $80? I can’t think of any in particular. ☹ The Yoyofficer Nifty seems like it’d be floaty for that price, but I’ve not played one. ---
