What are some of your favourite yoyos that are great for matador play? Pull starts etc.

I always thought of matador as a more spikes thing than a dimple thing but I guess this also works:joy::joy:😅
Ive played with the sherpa for a very short amount of time but I liked it a lot!

I feel that the Sherpa is very misunderstood with its jack of all trades perceptions. It is very versatile and can be played in so many ways. Been in my [Current top 5](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/current-top-5/54743/434) now for a few years now.

I have been looking for a Sherpa for a few months now, can never seem to snag them quick enough on the BST groups. It just looks so light and hollow and soft, I wanna touch it.

Really?? Ive been playing with my freesolo and though it doesnt have spike SEs I assumed it was atleast similar in design and I hate pullstarting with it. I prefer something sharper.

My OD silhouette with Spike SEs. It’s plenty sharp enough haha.
Also a peek the CLYW Bear Trap in the background, which has spikes inside those holes but my fingers are too big to actually use them for matador play. 😆
Reuploaded the pic 3 times and it’s still sideways. Oh well, you get the idea.
