As far as pure plastics go, Big Ben is super fun, and then the Big Bang but it’s unfortunately difficult to get from a US supplier being a YoyoEmpire throw.

This one is so much fun.

I also like the Diffusion a lot, and its very close cousin the Fay, but it’s a “premium” YYR plastic.

First Base, Diffusion and Wedge are must gets, all excellent and quite different shapes. Arrow did not do much for me personally.
