You’ve just named my 2 favorite companies. I give the edge to OneDrop though. The guys at one drop are more involved with the community, give you more updates, actively participate in the forums, gives the community a chance to design their yoyos with the CODE 1 and CODE 2 projects.
OneDrop and CLWY both make killer yoyos. I just think that OneDrop does more for the community.
See, One Drop has amazing ideas, and execute them well. Unfortunately, I’ve never really found a One Drop I’d use on a day to day basis. They’re amazing for their technicalities, but they all play too light for me. The ones that are heavy enough are H-Shapes. Crud.
Caribou is the same for me. The yoyos look stunning, and are very well made. Playwise, though, I really find the only yoyo I’d play a lot is the Bassalope, being the only small-bearing Caribou to date. Like, the Campfire would play so much better with a small bearing.
HUH? H-Shapes are crud? What? Code 1 is awesome. Also Wooly Markmont is an awesome collab. If they play too light for you, like the 54, you can add brass side effects. Fixed.
Of course zammy would say OD Lol. But I must say that I do like the bulk of one drop’s yoyos, partly cause the price, another part for value for money, but mainly pure awesomeness.
ONEDROP YOYO DESIGN is the best yo-yo company I’ve ever seen. Everything about their yo-yos, from their playability, construction, to their price range is INCREDIBLE. My favorite onedrop is the Y-Factor and I highly recommend getting it; its the most stable and smooth yo-yo I have ever played with.
OH, I took it the wrong way. I thought you meant H-Shapes were crud. It’s fine if you don’t like H-Shapes, but myself loving H-Shapes, it just bewilders me that you don’t like H-Shapes.
