I saw Gingie’s Tier list and wanted to make my own.
I made 4 different tier lists: Subjective, Performance, smoothness, and Binds.
Subjective: This is all based on opinion. The yoyos that I like are at the top, and the ones that I don’t like as much are at the bottom. My S tier yoyo are those that I have used and loved for so long that there is an added nostalgia factor for me. A tier yoyos are those that I believe could someday be moved to the S tier. Man, I love yoyos!

Binds: I am not a fan of snagging at all. I also am not the most skilled when it comes to fancy binds. It is likely that I favor yoyos with a little less tight binds. Keep that in mind when going through my list.

I understand that there may be some unpopular opinions on these tier lists. I am open to discussion, but please be aware that my opinion likely will not be changed based on conversation. You may find a kindred spirit who agrees with your disagreement of my lists and that is totally cool. I did this for fun and encourage others to do so as well in the comments if they would like.
