Always metal, always a kk bearing, and always yye bulk poly.

:smiley:

Shape: YYR style catch zone with bigger, more organic rims designed to be ergonomic
Size: 53-54 mm dia. Also prefer them relatively wide
Weight: 63-66. I like lighter throws
Material: 7075 Aluminum
Style: Lotsa flashy slack with a little bit of tech
Bearing: 10-Ball
Response: K-Pad
String: Neon yellow YYE Poly

Full sized, around 56mm, anywhere from 39-43 mm wide, gap in the 4+mm region, and V-type shapes. I won’t lie, the Phenom is a favorite, as well as other V-shapes. I also like the KK bearings but I do play lots of other stuff.

Shape: V shape
Weight: 65-67 grams
Size: doesn’t matter, as long as it’s not oversized
Response: Silicone
Bearing: konkave
String: YYE bulk

Shape: Doesnt matter too much to me.
Weight: As long as it plays a little bit on the slow side, I’m happy.
Diameter: 50-53
Style: Slow and smooth
Response: Silicone
Bearing: Whatever came in the yoyo (I’ll occasionally throw in a Center Trac)
String: YYE Bulk

I prefer a V shape. I like having my hand as close to the bearing as possible when I throw it.

Whatever a royale is. Haha

A yoyo… that is just about it.

plus string! I gotta have string. I mean without string it’s just a cookie cutter :smiley: . mmmm Cookies!

If you get one of those ultra wide yoyos, you could use it to roll out the cookie dough and then cut it.

Genius! Pure Genius! :wink:

I like these threads.
As for me, it’s gotta be 66 gram, no more, no less. 56mm dia, 43 width. And a slightly organic How shape, like the Avalanche or Code 2. Perfection.

V shape, 62-65 grams, around 60-64 mm dia, and 43-47 mm width.
