My thoughts are: - Banshee - Fanastic yoyo if you can manage to get one. You’ll have to make that a part-time job. - VTWO - Currently my favorite yoyo. But only after swapping out the stock (flat) bearing. - Decoy - Looks really good but I don’t know where you can even get one. - Kuntosh 5000QV - Another fantastic yoyo, but good luck finding one. You’ll have to troll B/S/T for one. ---

The Banshee has been at the top of my invisible yoyo list for a while now ---

I have no experience with any of these yoyos, but I hear that the VTWO is very good. ---

Some of those are too new for people to have informed opinions about. But the two in that list which are discussed the most are Banshee and Bliss, so I’d prioritize those personally. ---

Sf Bliss and cadence is by far my first recommendation because it suits any style well Float in the raw colorway looks amazing. But only if you like SUPERRR light yoyos Magpie is like a cadence but wider and I feel like it has a wider trapeze width but I’m not sure. VTWO does not feel like a regular onedrop; it plays like a clyw compass or any other clyw Flashback has a narrow trapeze width for tight binds but not so good for any dense tech Borealis plays just like any other clyw. I’ve actually never tried a Banshee before. ---

That said, sasquatch 2018 and gorge and pickaxe, those are _quite_ unique! ---

I don’t a clyw or OD and have never play a yoyo from either company so I don"t know how there yoyos play. maybe you can compare the throws to a yyf. I only have YYF made stuff because I live in AZ and stop by their HQ to try yoyos before buying them ---

Well, I guess companies like one drop and clyw originally wanted to create yo-yos with their own unique feel to them. I guess it was kind of a tradition in a sense. With that said, I believe all their throws are really good (In fact, many of their throws are in my top 20 favorites) they just have the same…feel to them. ---

I have so many bimetals and have already gotten great feedback for the elite and it is only a matter of time before I get one. I will absolutely pick one up if Jake does the red blue face again(no white swirl) ---
