Assuming no sentimentality/value is attached, in which case my answer would definitely be different, Summit 2.

Extremely goldilocks yoyo for me. Is it the most performant yoyo I could choose? Definitely not. Is it the most comfortable yoyo I could choose? Nope. Is it the most expensive yoyo I could choose from my collection? Not even close. But as far as all arounders go… this one is pretty hard to beat. It feels really fantastic, it’s really fun, and it’s got a shape that reminds me of what I grew up throwing while still being extraordinarily capable. And it has SE’s so if I want to adjust the weight or get a different feel out of it, I can. Definitely a top 5 yoyo of all time for me, and besides the Legacy Peak, my favorite release of 2026.

freehand one

everyone needs a freehand in their collection, timeless classic yoyo and there’s tons of color options

freehand one is the best iteration of this since it takes modern pads and plays well responsive out of the box

i tend to pickup one or two every year, and it’s a great yoyo to hand to someone curious about yoyos without breaking the bank

I’ve got a few yoyos I’d only sell in an absolute emergency. This is the one I’m never selling unless it’d save a life:
