The best is probably the Life.
My favorite is probably the Ti-Peak.
My favorite and currently available is the Peak 2.
The most affordable, currently available, is probably the One Drop Intro.
I’ll put in a vote for the OD Intro. That’s been just about the only unresponsive yoyo I’ve thrown all year so far. The finish is out of this world, completely unique texture compared to any of my other throws. Suuuper satisfying to play with too, especially with Markmont Dragon, or Zipline Smoothie strings on it.
I think that if money is any sort of consideration, the Intro is a great option. In terms of play it is pretty much as good as anything else out there and you can get half swaps right from the manufacturer.
you know what’s funny… or not… i’m not someone who likes wide yoyos, but the orbiton is the widest in my organic lot, significantly - likely my widest throw - and it’s still tolerable.
Avocado has been on my list to get for awhile now. But I will admit that I would have pulled the trigger already if they had it in green. Ideally dark green. Missed opportunity…
