This is something I have been currently wondering about for quite some time as of late.
A fellow yoyo friend of of mine has been complaining how he feels all the throws out there seem to feel way too lite for him and that has caused me to question…what are some of the heaviest based new throws out there as of 2012? He seems to prefer the high 60 grams to almost 70.
So if there is people out there that know weight of some of the newer based throws as of late, list em down here.
I myself prefer mid 60s, like the 65 gram range but that is just my personal tastes.
Weight in yoyos is so subjective cause you can have a yoyo play super floaty and yet supposedly weigh at like 69 grams so its kind of like a illusion.
Code 2, with brass domes in it. That put’s it at the lower 70s, but surprisingly it still plays fast. Even though i prefer aluminum ultralights in mine, i still throw the brass domes in there every once in a while just for kicks.
As for other yoyo, I’m a huge fan of the Sasquatch. Most people prefer the Avalance over it, but there is just something about it that i love.
Anyway, the only stuff I’ve found in the past to be right around what the topic is about, is a Wooly Markmont. It may only be, what, 67g’s? But it plays much heavier. Anyone else know of any throws that aren’t necessarily heavy but just play like a brick? Now I’m not talking sluggish, I’m talking just plain heavy. Like your finger wants to snap off when the yoyo reaches the end of the string after a throw.

Rebel Yoyo’s Macrocosm and the Madhouse Compulsion are both pretty heavy feeling players. The Foxland Foxtail is as well although its specs are not what most want in today’s market.
The Chaser is like 73.8 grams. The Mutant DNA is 74.6 grams. The Sharp is 71.3 grams. My Code 2 with Disc side effects weighs out at 71.15 grams and I like this configuration better than my Code2 I keep stock. This one quickly became a favorite. I do really find myself drawn to the Mutant DNA a lot lately as well.
I hear the Aoda Eternal Star is 80 grams fully assembled for yoyo play. However, I’m not sure how modern we want to call this one. However, I am far too lazy to change it’s configuration, so if I ever get around to getting one, once it goes “yoyo”, it ain’t going back! But it’s not one I am really interested in getting at the moment.
