What majority of compititors used old yoyos at worlds

Wierd quistion. But whenever I look for a new flagship compitition model I ussuly looks for the latest and newest models. But now days I see some people choosing older models over the newer models. So just wanted to see how many people still use old models and who pick old model over the Ena one. For example angel0 and Togo katsudo chose the edge 3m. 0 over the edge 4.0.idk I’m jsut curiose

From 2024 1a WYYC finals, number of yoyos by year:
2024: 13 players
2023: 4 players
2022: Miri Kim w/YYF PC rim Miracle
2020: Terrance Wang w/C3 Vanitas
2019: Connor Seals w/SF Motive

Generally speaking each year at worlds the typical yoyos used are largely from the past couple years, with a few outliers each year.

Mir used the new Al rim version while Miri used the old PC rim version

im pretty sure hunter used the starlight to get 3rd, at 53mm

No, he used the Moonlight. It’s listed in the description of the video of his Worlds performance.
