I’m looking for a responsive metal yoyo. I’ve found the DV888. But I don’t know if there are any more or if this is even worth chasing down.

The Deep State uses a recessed standard C bearing. Heavy lube that bearing and it’ll be very responsive indeed; clean the bearing for max spin time, and it’ll be more unresponsive.

There!

Everyone keeps forgetting about the Drifter, organic and light with a 1/2 spec C that can be upgraded to full if lightweight unresponsive is your thing. And it is here at YYE

Alley Cat 650b, Deep State, and Sherpa are probably the best.

Someone gave me one last month. I like it with a big c bearing. It’s light but fun to play.
