No-Jive 3-in-1

Or my favorite unresponsive yoyo lubed to responsiveness.

KickSides are relatevery responsive, I’m not sure if that counts though.

If not, stock FH0.

FreeHand2!

well, yyn and yye spoke veeery highly of it and i heard it wasn’t all that absolutely great

i’m obviously completely biased, but of course i’ll say the flying v. it was designed to be a played responsively, and it was just a pleasant accident that it plays amazingly unresponsive also. it does everything i want it to, and the way i set most of mine up (k-pads and a heavily lubed slim bearing), i can’t get away with any sloppiness. i realize that setup isn’t meant for everyone, but it’s perfect for me.

i’ve also got 35 no jives, which are easily my favorite wood yo-yo’s (and the profile of which obviously inspired the v). i also really dig renegades, as well as stock freehand zeros and the older rubber-weighted freehand 2’s.
