But… but dv888 is the best rock on the string I kind of like that feel sometimes.

DV888 is on my list of small throws that have since been sold or traded. To each their own. I’ll admit it did have some charm though. :heart:

I also love throws in the 52mm range, so I’ll recommend a few…

The YYFr SS Koi is a banger. It’s more solid-feeling on the string than I typically prefer, but in a way that inspires confidence. The D bearing and shape make regens and binds hit different in SUCH a pleasing way. Somehow it stays stable and binds well at very low RPMs. It’s really a little powerhouse.

The Canary is another great D bearing option. Not quite organic but still very comfortable. Also pretty solid feeling and a great performer.

The CLYW Pickaxe is really fun. It has that cozy caribou feel that I love but in an undersized form factor.

Finally, the Drunner/TiVayder. A lot has been written about this one, so I’ll just say that the hype is justified imo–it could be my favorite playing yoyo on any given day. I have the drunner but I believe it’s very similar to the TiVayder. Ahh @Tempura beat me to it! lol

Honorable mention: the Duncan Metal Drifter (53mm). I posted this in a different thread the other day… but it’s a steal for $25. At only 58.5 grams, it’s such a fun lil throw to zip around. Not too fast to control and performs pretty well despite the bantam weight. One throw that always surprises me and puts a smile on my face.
