Looking for a new Yoyo

[TurbowS (Sawyer)]

Hey there!
So I currently don’t own many competitive yoyos, I l’y having a shutter, IQ, DNA, and Replay Yoyo. Obviously my favorite of the bunch is the IQ and I’m looking at some other Bi-Metal yo-yos. When looking around I found that there’s a ton of really good ones out there and I kinda just wanted to know which are the best. I’m not going to put a price range because I just in general want to know what the best for me would be but here’s what I like in a Yoyo:
I like W shaped yoyos, and wouldn’t mind trying another shape (V shape seems fun)
I like wider yoyos, around the width of the IQ Yoyo (49mm)
I’d obviously like a metal or Bimetal Yoyo
I would prefer précision and agility over power but would like a good mix of both

Thanks!!

EDIT: I also forgot to say I like lighter and faster yoyos. I saw all the recommendations and the GTR JS seems great but I still wanna see if there are any other recommendations!

I’d take a look at the edge by Yoyofactory. Really good perforce, and wide as well.

i think precision might be harder on a wider yoyo, but the shutter wide angle is always available and around $55 i think, wide and can do everything you need it to. in terms of bimetals, i have no clue lol

if you can find one, i would recommend a yoyo factory Marco wide shape, super stable and powerful. otherwise, get the polyform Dema. its very smooth, wide and powerful.

for a lighter playfeel you should get the og orbital gtx, since the new one is heavier

If you want an amazing yoyo look into Duncan gtr or gtr js it’s not an h shape but it’s agility, flow and performance are totally worth it
If you want an h shape yoyo maybe you could try the yyf vulture or paragraph

Second this 100%. Absolutely recommend picking up a GTR-JS, it’s a Top 3 yoyo for me out of the 200ish I own.

GTR-JS is a GREAT contrast to the IQ while also still being wider.

Here’s how I compared the two previously:

@SR1

[The GTR-JS and IQ] are my first two recommendations to people as far as bimetals go, so great choices! Couldn’t have narrowed it down better myself.

The GTR-JS is my favorite of the two (and possibly my favorite performance yoyo of all time), but the IQ is the perfect contrast to it. They’re two of the best yoyos you can get, just very different in a lot of ways. Think of the GTR-JS as a Ferrari or some other supercar. It’ll shine whether you’re on the race track, or if you’re on an open stretch of road and want to put the pedal to the metal and just effing GO. It’s light but TOTALLY controllable, which I love. It’ll go rippin’ fast and stay stable and on its plane the whole time. The hand feel is great and there aren’t any uncomfortable angles or painful catches like some other bimetals can have.

Think of the IQ as a Rolls Royce, Bentley or nice Benz. Sure, it can go fast, but it’s the perfect choice to take out on the weekend and cruise around in (and look good while you’re doing it). It’s powerful, yet controlled, and its presence can be felt on the string. Not to say it feels heavy or anything - it really doesn’t, but taking things at a comfortable pace just feels fantastic while using it. It’s wide like your Akita and comfortable like your Exia. It’s a unique feel but is something I gravitate towards constantly. I guess what I’m trying to say is that it’s a very “goldilocks” feeling yoyo, since it feels just right.

Hate to be the guy that says “wHy NoT bOtH” but honestly… if I could only have two bimetals it’d be these two. I feel like they’re both great in all the ways a yoyo should be, but a perfect contrast to one another in terms of feel. It really is nice having both to switch back and forth between. At the end of the day though… if you want a fast performance machine, get a GTR-JS. If you want a comfy “do it all” goldilocks type yoyo, get an IQ. I’ll be voting for a JS though since it is my personal favorite of the two. I promise you cannot go wrong either way you choose - you’ll love them both!

I’ve recommended the JS countless times on this forum and there hasn’t been a person that regrets picking one up/doesn’t love it.

Saw there are new colors of the gtr-js coming soon. The red and purple from the last batch looks so good.

@erebus

for a lighter playfeel you should get the og orbital gtx,

Can’t go wrong with the orbital Gtx. Unless you don’t like sharp rims (The rims only hurt if you catch the yoyo wrong or if you get hit in the face)
Otherwise the Gtx is one of the smoothest, powerful and quiet yoyo’s I have.

I don’t know if there is a bad duncan bimetal
