So, I was looking at a new trick to learn in the Learn section, and I was thinking of some “iconic” yoyos. This is kind of a subjective term, but I was wondering if any of you had any ideas of important yoyos to the community. Though the ones I’ve listed are signature throws, I don’t think these have to be sigs. The two that come to mind are: Red Dark Magic 1 Orange Northstar ---

Red dark magic, as previously stated, is pretty darn iconic. Probably the most viewed YoYo ever. The main one that comes to mind is of course the Duncan butterfly in all of its various colors. It’s in a ridiculous amount of stores all over the world, it definitely deserves mention. ---

What was the first yoyo to be sold with a counterweight? EDIT: The obvious answer would be FH1, but I was wondering if it would be something tricky like the Flying Squirrel. GRRRRRR I’m just procrastinating at this point! Gotta get back to lesson planning! ---

Some yoyos I think should be in everyone’s collection, all have an important history as well as a significant impact to the community.

Of those, I’d go with the OG Peak, FHZ (seems to be Duncan’s best-selling in-package counterweight yoyo), and the YYF 888. When I first started throwing 1.5 years ago, it seemed like the 888 was YYF’s “premier” throw (lots of big names on that 888 commercial video). ---

The iconic yoyo’s in my opinion are the red protostar, orange northstar, red DM, Hitman, blue 888, Chief, superstar. there are more. The most iconic yoyo though (modern yoyo’s, or it would obviously be the imperial) would be the red DM1 ---

Pedro Flores Yoyo Yoyojam Aquarius, pretty Iconic in 4A YYF 401k, it was a NICE yoyo with the FAST Adjustable Starburst sytem, and it worked very nicely. Tom Kuhn gets left out a Lot, but they are some of the biggest Dif-e-yo yoyos, Frank Made the Konkave bearing, that started its own Thing, let alone his throws. Buzzon yoyos, with their SPR and Occasional Wobble issues, were pretty Iconic back in the Day Alchemy CU, Stainless Steel yoyo that wasn’t too small, but played very nicely with an A bearing. Throw Down Shuriken, Another mini Made of Carbon Steel,D bearing, Very nice throw for its day, still is. Big Brother Wedgie, Most Un-tiltable Yoyo EVER…Mid Sized, Made well, and was an A bearing metal. _Forgot to add this one_ Hspin Pyro, a D bearing, larger Square yoyo, Very light for its size, but also very stable for whatever angle its thrown at. Used pads when Sili was finally getting big, but definitely A great player. I think these are my Iconic yoyos. They were big back then, some still are. ---
