I love how people keep naming the CLYW Chief and oth CLYW just becasue they think it was the first to have that Double lip thingā€¦It wasnā€™tā€¦That double lip goes as far back as the Team Losi Cherry Bomb, Which I forgot to mention on my listā€¦Both the plastic and Chrome versions were legit, and were affordable, good playing yoyos. So please stop naming CLYW as the originator of this techniqueā€¦I really only consider their Campfire a legit iconic yoyo. Their new throws, imo, Are all the same. Unless you count their OG Avalancheā€¦thatā€™s pretty big. So, more to add to my list. I really forgot some classics, I believeā€¦Yomega did do some nice things, Like the OG Maverick, a 30 dollar metal is still rare these days. And for yā€™all who say Yomega Sucksā€¦No, they donā€™tā€¦It can do Moebius VERY easily, if you just clean the Bearingā€¦I think people need to stop giving 'em slack for using responsive bearingsā€¦it gets annoying, to be honest. Duncan did (STILL DOES) the same, and they are the Second Oldest Company in American history for yo-ing. Okay, next, One Dropā€¦Their Dingo, M1, Project, all their old throws did something even YYF has trouble doingā€¦Consistently good throws that were smooth and played like bosses. Team Losi - Already explained 'em a little, but considering they were actually an RC Car/ Truck company, popping out them fun Yo-yos was a real feat, trust me. Small Minds - They did an all aluminum yo-yo we old peeps learned to love, the Zombie. Razor bought em out, and did their Zombie version. Both were fun throws made affordable, and they played nicely, imo. ---

Famous/well known/popular. The Chief is famous, well known, and popular, thus, making it iconic.
