Looking for ideas for fun yoyos that aren’t made solely for the purpose of being used in competition.

Never liked the idea of a fun/competition dichotomy, but the Doc Pop Icarus with a flat bearing is one of my recent favs.
TiVayder.

Bumble Bee GT and TK Silver Bullet I
They feel great to throw. The cork response system feels great on the GT.
The Silver Bullet is Billy Dee Williams on a string.

Do all responsives basically fit here? (At least the fun ones?) I’d put the Deep State on the list.

Yes basically! Haha Kyle Nations did use the weekender in contest so maybe it’s a competition throw haha.
Silver bullet for the win. Sadly I’ve traded mine away.

Would a powder coated grail be considered fun? I want one for solely this reason

My unresponsive and my responsive Deep States for sure! <3
Been having a lot of fun today with my responsive! Just doing basic stuff and even just gravity pulls…the yo just feels and looks so freaking cool haha.

I didn’t mean to sound like competition throws can’t be fun to play with because they definitely are I was just looking for people’s opinions on yoyos that arent necessarily geared toward being good for competition

Yea, no harm intended, it’s just some people here call competition throws boring and lifeless when it is far from the truth.
Some other throws I like that fit the criteria:
- OD Deep State
- Rain City & Oh Yes Yo Sk8er
- Retic Boa
- Spinworthy Harbinger
- Duncan Mayhem
