![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/1/8/5/1854121befa24f2c4c495b9d1c7b855f69c1d857.jpeg) Last year One Drop came out with the first Benchmark Series of yo-yos, a design study in how shape alone affected the feel of the yo-yo during play. All three had the exact same specs but came out, at the time, in V-Shaped, Organic Shaped, and H-Shaped designs. This year they have come out with a new line of Benchmarks, called the Benchmark Series 2014. This new series has an updated set of specs based on tweaks made after a year’s worth of play and feedback. That alone warrants a new line, but if you are one to look at the photos from my reviews first you will have already noticed a FOURTH model in this year’s Benchmark Series. One Drop has gone on record to say that last year’s V-Shape was more of a Wing design so they renamed it as such and introduced a pure V-Shape design. It will be interesting to see how this newer series stacks up. I am also curious if, unlike last year, I will be able to pick one as a definitive best in series. **Link to High Speed YoYo reviews has been removed. URL has been hijacked** ---

Have you checked out the 7075 summit? If so what are your thoughts on it? ---

> [@abby1371](#): > > thanks for the review! panning on buying one of these when the come out! its either a V, W, or an O which one do you like the best though because i kinda tied between all 3… For me it is the V, hands down. I have been waiting patiently for One Drop to do a pure V and my wait has been rewarded. Keep in mind, tastes may vary so you may want something else. -Chris ---
