I am not new to yo-yoing but I am new to this forum and I was wondering if you guys could help me out? I will be getting a new yo-yo soon and want your opinion on what to get. I have had a couple yo-yos now (Kickside, Legacy, Fiesta) and am in the Master section of this site.

Preferences:

Size: Undersized

Weight : Really like the weight of the Legacy but a little lighter would be ok.

Shape: H-shape

Material: I would like to try a metal yo-yo.

Company: I want to try something besides YYJ

Play Style and Tricks: I like to play smooth with some speed mixed in, I want to get into some grinding but as tricks go I do a lot of slack and advanced string tricks.

If you need anything else just ask ! ;D

If you can find an M1 they’re a pretty sweet throw. I think The caribou lodge campfire is an H shape
