Been thinking about this over the last several days. History; Bearings were introduced to yoyos and they were Responsive = Standard for the time. As yoyo evolved, we witnessed the trend to “Unresponsive” through the early 2000’s The term “Modern Responsive” came AFTER the standard meta changed too unresponsive. 2010 Mr. Ed Haponik and Spyy released the Flying V. Note this was not coined “Modern Responsive”. I would argue that this was the start of the idea/trend to the style change that followed. 2013 Spencer Berry releases the Walter. Still not Defined as a "Modern Responsive. Over the next 4 years, 0A was changing. Ed Haponik and Drew Tetz among others “Discovered” a new way to play, introducing stalls. This new Niche Started to grow. 2017 CoreCo Alley Cat - Bearing designed yoyo for this style of Play 2018 Bandoleres Project. It is at this point the term “Modern Responsive” starts to appear more in the industry and throughout the community. The heart of the Style; 0A Play on a Bearing responsive yoyo. Some get confused because this Style “Can” and/is played on yoyos not initially designed for this specific style. Example; Maybe the earliest Yoyo that fits the “Modern Responsive” yoyo concept would be the Tom Kuhn Silver Bullet 2. Since 2018 we have seen Manufacturers start designing yoyos for this style of play; Modern Responsive. Below are my examples of yoyos for this “Style of Play” Modern Responsive; ![1000004003](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/5/e/6/5e651c4f818fe8b1289d6764336f5cb3038ce554.jpeg) Row 1; ZGRT - Albrije - Slim D Bearing MK1xSpinworthy - Red Blood Cell MK1xSpinworthy - Metal Harbinger Prototype MK1xSpinworthy - Metal Harbinger Production Yoyorecreation - 5ive Yoyomaker - 3Deep Row 2; G Squared - Respawn G Squared - Respawn Lite G Squared - Respawn X G Squared - Ti Respawn Yoyo Boomer Club - Workhorse Prototype v.1 Layer Infinity - Kasm Row 3; DocPop/Toybana - Stoopid DocPop - Weekender \*Original DocPop - Weekender \*Finger Spin DocPop - Weekender \*Finger Spin Ceracote DocPop/Zipline - Day Tripper DocPop - Bolt 2 \*responsive Row 4; DocPop/Toybana - Thing DocPop - PLTPS Recess - Quiz YoyoFactory - Turbo Grind Machine CoreCo - Alley Cat CoreCo - Alley Cat 650B Row 5; ZGRT - El Mijo Polycarbonate ZGRT - El Mijo ZGRT - El Tijo ZGRT - Ti Janus & Janus Laid Back Swing - Nude Trump Godhesh - Petri (Thick Lube to make responsive) Row 6; Tom Kuhn - Silver Bullet 2 One Drop - Deep State One Drop - Deeper State Yoyofriends - Beacon TimCor - Starfire Duncan - World Class Row 7; Custom Products - Axle Elite Custom Products - Axle MK1 - Sliver \*Narrow Bearing OutofHand - Burner Zeekio - Slim Jim Duncan - Cold Fusion GT Row 8; Markmont - Black Canon Rain City Skills - Gamer Lite Jake Bullock - Slim Dunk \*Narrow Bearing Basecamp - Sherpa ILYY - Black Belt Duncan - Bumble Bee - MODIFIED; Shaved posts, Narrow Bearing and Flowable Silicone Row 9; YoyoFactory - Ti Confusion YoyoFactory - Confusion YoyoFactory - Confusion GT - More 1A than 0A YYF/Basecamp - Moonshine 2 YYF/Basecamp - Moonshine Proyo - Turbo Bumble Bee Note: This is not a end-all/be-all list.
