Make a bunch of pointless threads asking people to list yoyos until jhb asks you to stop.

I try out a bunch of yoyos and I find what I like from it like weight, shape, and material. So basically after that I search for those things in my next Yoyo and it usually fits me.

steps:

1. price

3. reviews
4. buy

if reviews are bad, go back to step 2

rinse/repeat

you kind of get a feel for what specs you like after trying various shapes and sizes. go off that.

you seem to have owned a few of the most favored throws in the community. Which one do you like best? Find yoyo’s with similar specs/shapes.

Or try new stuff.

Or go to a club meet or contest and try out people’s yoyo’s.
