Hey people of the forum, I was just curious to see what people thought of the individual clyw yo-yos. I would like to see people put every CLYW throw they have ever tried in order from best to worst. What do you guys think? I haven’t tried enough of their throws to make an accurate list, so I just have to look at what you guys say.

TL;DR:  
make a list of all the Caribou lodge yo-yos you’ve thrown from least to greatest.
