I am looking for a metal responsive yoyo for mostly 1a tricks. I know that most of the metals are unresponsive but I prefer responsive play. So far I’ve found a few options. The metal drifter, Yoyo King Spin Control R, dv888, and moonshine 2.0. If anyone has any other suggestions or input on the ones already listed I would really appreciate it. Thanks

Moonshine 2.0 is very nice, I also do like the newest version of the metal drifter with a slim bearing in it.

My favorites are the Alleycat 650b, Butterfly AL, and G2 Respawn.

For some responsive 1A I have always been impressed with the Sherpa. One of my personal favorites;
