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

Welcome to the forums. Dv888 is not a great choice for responsive. Spin Control is on the smallish size (I have one). Everyone seems to swear by the One Drop Deep State or Deeper State.

Those are out of stock. Magic yoyo has some good options look them up on a few websites. Orrrrrr just slab some lube on your favorite unresponsive should do the trick

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.
I haven’t played it but the Daytripper has gotten a lot of love recently, though you just missed out on the pre-orders (they closed today). Weekender is also said to be good.
I have a DNA that I played semi-responsive for a bit, but it’s a bit heavy (~65g) to play responsive for my tastes.

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