Oh man do I have you covered… **fancy metal responsives** is my thing.

By far (in my opinion of course) the two best are

1. One Drop Deep State
2. YoYoFactory Confusion

These are the gold standard by which everything else should be judged! I’d put Deep State slightly in front, but it’s a close call.

I’d choose the confusion if you prefer a smaller old school bearing, plus it comes with thinner response pads (and a wide bearing) if you want to play it unresponsive. The Deep State uses a recessed standard C bearing. Heavy lube that bearing and it’ll be very responsive indeed; clean the bearing for max spin time, and it’ll be more unresponsive.

Some others that are also excellent, depending on your shape and style preferences:

- Basecamp Sherpa
- Basecamp Moonshine
- Tom Kuhn SB-2
- CoreCo Alley Cat 650b
- TopYo Creater
- Rain City Skills Gamer
- iYoyo 2

One I am not listing here is the Smashing Pip which plays like a square megabrick to me. Interesting … but not one I’d recommend.

As far as responsive plastic goes, my picks are:

- Japan Tech LinkX (h shape, awesome!)
- YYR Fay / Diffusion (v shape)
- YoYoOfficer X-Point (w shape)
- Recess First Base (o shape)

There’s a lot of responsive plastics out there but to me those play the best. And I like strong different shape choices :wink:
