The Harbinger (V 3.5)
The latest version of the flagship Spinworthy model. It had a slightly larger diameter than the average fixed axle yoyo so it has plenty of spin power as well as excellent, reliable response. Will do it all and do it well. $50 USD shipped for standards and $60 USD for exotics.
Approx specs:
Diameter: 58.5mm
Width: 33mm
Gap: 2.3mm
Weight (choice dependent) 48- 71g
The Boon
Smaller and a little more curvy than the Harbinger with a slightly wider gap. The Boon was created for comfort and performance. The catch zone is a hair more open than the Harbinger’s making it slightly more forgiving with not-so-perfect regenerations. The lighter woods create an extremely comfortable stall play yoyo while the heavier woods also give longer spins (still great stall players). $50 USD shipped for standards and $60 USD for exotics.
Approx specs:
Diameter: 56.5mm
Width 33mm
Gap: 2.6mm
Weight (choice dependent) 46g - 64g.
The Skinflint
My budget offering. With a few shortcuts and sourcing of affordable materials, these are able to be made inexpensively and quickly. They only come in one wood; merbau and the weight can vary greatly and cannot be specified. Yours may weigh anywhere between 58-70g. Consider it a lucky dip! Although they are made cheaply, they still pack some good performance. Only $35 USD shipped to the US.
Approx specs:
Diameter: 57mm
Width: 32.5mm
Gap: 2.6mm
Weight 55g - 71g
The Ballsy
As the name suggest, this one packs some serious scrotal fortitude. It’s big, wide and gives decently long spins. It was made as a yoyo to give players greater success at longer string on a fixed axle. It also performs really nicely for flipping and varial tricks. The slight ‘ogee’ style shape means less friction of the string against the walls. It’s a very comfortable, curvy design. $60 shipped for standards and $65 shipped for exotics. (Pictured on the far left in pictures).
Approx specs:
Diameter: 60mm
Width: 38.5mm
Gap: 2.6mm
Weight (choice dependent) 62- 74g
Burley
This undersized fixed axle yoyo is made from gidgee; one of the very hardest woods in the world. It plays pretty well for its size. The wood is very expensive. $70 shipped.
Approx specs:
Diameter: 45mm
Width: 30mm
Gap: 2.3mm
Weigh: 56g.
Unresponsive Yoyos
Stout
A wide, small diameter POM yoyo. Comfortable, speedy and floaty. The step out from the response lowers string friction. A nice performer.
Approx specs:
Diameter: 53mm
Gap: 4.3mm
Width: 46mm
Weight: 64.5g
The Scone
Medium sized, light and floaty organic. Extremely comfortable to play. Not particularly stable, but still capable for general casual play. A personal favourite
Approx specs:
Diameter: 55.5
Width: 43mm
Gap: 4.3mm
Weight: 60g
