Yo yo everyone! I’m looking to buy my first unresponsive yoyo in years, and hoping you fine folk can offer some suggestions. I’m searching for a mono metal with some power behind it, not super competition shaped but can still handle most things thrown at it. Budget around $100 Look forward to researching all your awesome recommendations! If you need more info to narrow down a suggestion, I’m an open book. ---

I know this shouldn’t matter, but I’m not really into dark colored yoyos. I try to prioritize function over form but it’s difficult. ---

To this day I still think the Unparalleled Recognition is one of the absolute best monometals out there, and for a killer price to boot. Colin Beckford and the rest of the Unparalleled team designed such a good throw, it’s crazy how capable it is ---

Budget recommendations would include: TP St. Elmo DD Emotion C3 Cyber Crash 2 YYFr Shortcut YYFr Koi (Organic) Freshly Dirty VHS. My current favorite. Organic, slim, beautiful cuts and a sure powerhouse. Can cop like 2 of any of those and still be within or around budget. High end Monos: Hydrangea Magnolia Yoyomonster Noah or Sfida Pretty much anything from Yoyorec These individually will put you just at or around budget for just 1 throw. ---

My fave is the Reboot. It’s a mid-sized organic that’s super comfortable in the hand. I probably pick it up most due to hand feel alone. Honorable mentions for me go to the Beater and Free Solo. The Beater is a fun player, but the Free Solo is probably the most “performant” of the group. ---

I can’t recommend the YYF Czech Point Pivot enough. It is “competition shaped,” but I find it to be pretty comfortable (I won’t use a yoyo that isn’t fairly comfortable). It’s easily in the top two most powerful yoyos I’ve ever used, bimetal or otherwise. My #2 would probably be the already mentioned Reboot. That thing has power it just shouldn’t for being mid-sized, organic-ish, and pretty light. The OG BettyNova is fairly similar to the CPP, but slightly less powerful if you’re really looking for max power. Mine is dead smooth and has nicer (and brighter) anno options over the CPP, if that sways you. Is slightly comfier, too. The Shortcut certainly isn’t a bad yoyo for $30, but with your budget being well above that, I’d suggest a different option, personally.
