Titanium ZGRT Janus with a bearing blank. Because even without string or response, it is still has entertainment value (and could probably be used to signal passing ships/planes by reflecting the sun). ---

Doc Pops Desert Island Yoyo. Its my daily. It handles everything I can do trick wise, its floaty, plastic is forever, etc. It feels right to me for the purpose. ---

I’d be concerned about rust forming in the bearing eventually, and wearing out the string too. I’d be happy with my YYF IQ, it’s a great all around throw. Or one of my MCMO. ---

ZGRT El Mijo Why. It’s versatile with different bearing set ups, even fixed axle. I have played it daily for over a year i could happily do it again while stranded on this island. ---

RBC with fixie-mod. It is durable, reliable, perfect response, no maintenance needed. It is already the yo-yo I play 95% of the time. I’d be fine with only this one. Edit: it is also a worry stone and a pull start fidget toy. 🕶 Also, I’m just going to be the guy here who points out that we literally have one of these threads posted every few months - if not more frequently. 🥴 ---
