The last time I had a YYF yo-yo it was the og superstar. I’ve been out of the hobby for a bit, but now that I’m back I’m curious what everyone thinks is their best. There’s so many choices I don’t really know where to start
I picked up a BettyNova because the weight seemed interesting to me, but I’d like to get another.
Price isn’t really a concern.

I really like the new uppercut, and the skyline. I just got the skyline, and because it had hub stacks I didn’t bother to look at the specs. It is small, but I have really been enjoying it.

If you want bi metals can’t go wrong with any of Evans throws, or in my opinion the bind is top notch

The uppercut is a great one. And I recently bought a NSK gold bearing and I put that into the uppercut. I really wasn’t expecting much because it was already really good, but I think it was worth it. I’d say it’s my #2 yo-yo performance wise.

Kapital and Kommune are my two favorites of theirs at the moment.

I second this. Also the bi metal shutter (aka butter 
)

The shutter wide angle seems to have a similar shape to the superstar, but I have no idea how different they play

The edge line is probably my favorite, the infinity lives up to its name in every way, but you can get the K edge in stores. Are you looking for something that’s in stock? If price isn’t a concern I’d hunt down Titanium Metavity.
On the other end of the spectrum if you like H shape the metal arrow is always a pleasure to pick up and it never disappoints.
It’s hard to go wrong with a YYF.
The shutter is another very solid all around pick and that is actually readily available.
If you prefer a Organic shape the new Knock Out K.O. is really awesome.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone! Sounds like I need to try some form of Shutter.
The design philosophy of the Pragma caught my attention while browsing the store. That’s also a contender for me.

Buy an og edge.
I really really like the bi-metal shutter or Butter as some call it. I have my 3rd on the way.

I concur. Real beast of a throw with a good feel, well rounded and powerful. I love my Ti-888 as well, but for more casual play.
Otherwise the Kapital. I like it better than the Shutter (wide angle, OG, championship weight WA, etc), the Bettynova, 1.5 Edge, and basically any other YYF that ive played.

Just wanted to say thanks everyone for helping me out. I picked up a BettyNova and an Uppercut and they’re both excellent. The Betty especially. It’s just so smooth
I’m still a noob, so these were perfect for my skill level. Will look into some of the more primo offerings once I’m better.
