Gotta be the Mowl Surveil. More powerful and smooth than most of my bimetals. Super stable, ridiculously fun, and it hits tricks easier than most of my other yo-yos. ---

Sensational suggestions so far! Looks like shudder & top deck have multiple positives…. Almost everyone has their very own type they love! There are several great choices…… Recess first base w/ double bearings for responsive or unresponsive play…helps cover multiple styles of play…. But no IGR? So the search continues……… ---

Hey Ian, do you play yours with the original snow tires response pads? My Akita doesn’t like collars, he’s always biting… That’s the reason why I don’t play too much with it… Idk, maybe I need to wear the response a little bit… Thinner strings like draken makes this yoyo amazing, indeed. I would say Gorilla Chopsticks, it’s a crazy yoyo that deserved to be tested. ---

I would say everybody should try the 256 pound yoyo at the National Yoyo Museum. Suggest putting a piece of Sports tape on your throwing finger, first. And don’t do any bad binds because a ‘hard Return’ is never a good look… ---

The last Akita I owned was from the latest release and would snag on a trapeze.( not exaggerating. It was so grabby it made me not wanna throw it until…) I removed the snow tires and flowed silicone so I could make it less snaggy. I tried breaking it but I put a couple hours on it probably before I decided I needed to change something ---

Exactly, I feel the same. Suicides are super dangerous. Hahahaha I kept throwing with super fat strings trying to wear the pads. But those pads are high quality, so now I’m playing with thinner string only. But mainly not playing that much. ---

Silicone helps, and recessed silicone completely transforms it, imo. Not only no snags, but significantly better performance. Excellent pick with the Chopsticks Gorilla! 👌🏼 ---

I actually have two… The Circle City P40 Warhawk - I think it plays better than… well any other yo-yo I’ve ever played. It’s by and large my favorite yo-yo. Dressel Designs (@hobbygod) Assassin. It set a new standard IMO. ---

If you have the chance to try it, the 000 has a pretty unique feel and a nice ring. ---
