All the specs and shapes can work if they’re designed well.

I don’t really like calling something like a Protostar W shape. I think the Shortcut, Klondike, Kagerou, W1ld, etc are what we should call W.

I’m pretty sure when it came out people just considered it and similar yoyos to have a variant of the V shape.

Tbh it was a bit silly of me to even bring up, because most modern yoyos don’t adhere to rigid shape guidelines anyways.

There is no such thing as “best kinds” or “best shapes” of yoyos. There is “best kind of yoyo for specific person at certain moment of time”, which is you have to determine all by yourself by trying, and trying, and trying again different yoyos.

MMC/MCMO is as close to perfection as I’ve found, or just organics in general. But I’ve also been playing my benchmark H a lot lately and want to try more shapes like that.

Other than not being particularly keen on organics, I enjoy pretty much all of the common shapes. And even with organics, there’s still stuff like the Tone that I enjoy.

Star shape with a response bump? That, in my opinion, is the best modern yoyo shape.

54-57 mm diameter  
45-48 mm wide  
64-66 g

I like a rounded H shape, but that’s just what I’m most used to. I don’t think I have anything that’s truly a V, but I should get one.

Gotta get moar yoyos to try them allllllll!
