Tell me some of your favorites of all time, and some of your favorites that have recently released within the past year or two! Also I’ve only recently gotten back into the hobby and taken it more seriously. I need some string recommendations and more information about string types. Some are rough and some are soft. I like the softer feeling but the soft ones slide around my finger awkwardly. Please try and recommend stuff in stock 
Thanks!

2025 highlights for me that you can likely easily track down are:
w!ld contrast - best performance throw out there by my personal preferences
unprld tenacity - if you like heavier throws with more string presence you might like this one a bit more, very controllable but slower paced as a result
unprld distortion - if you want a bimetal with a bit of a lighter feeling (lighter than the above two) this is a great pick
disyoyos sibyl - great all around yoyo, not as high performing as the two above but just comfortable and fun, not fatiguing over long sessions
wilderness 7075 - imo a yoyo everyone should try, wide and powerful monometal that’s likely the best budget competitive yoyo we’ve seen in a while
realistically hard to go wrong with most modern yoyos

My favourite strings are mfd vines till now. Also original throw fat is super good.
I recently got a w1ld upshift and after a long time I have enjoyed a bimetal!
Nice! How does the Upshift play?
w1ld wildless 2
Asora V3 is one of my favorites and they’re actually in stock (abt $120)
- one of the best SE organics you can get while still being somewhat affordable (compared to other SE organics**)
also Recess Firecracker (d bearing) $50 new
- in stock and significantly more affordable than the asora but not an SE yoyo, but still super super fun to play
- also ships with a responsive bearing and unresponsive
i think for a competitive style throw, any popular model from w1ld, can’t go wrong w them. personally i’ve only tried the w!ld model and it didn’t really do it for me, extremely capable but didn’t have much personality in my not so skilled opinion. your mileage may vary…
but if u want floaty, flowy, and SOUL
asora and firecracker!
responsive recommendation
ONE DROP DEEPEST STATE, not in stock but will be soonish hopefully (?) but seriously, a great experience, highly highly recommend ($60-$90)
also try fixed axle if you haven’t, diversifying was probably my best choice with yoyo
