What are your favorite throws? (Can be more than 1)
Good Life Mantra.
Tied for unresponsive: 5 star and Hatrick
Tied for responsive: RBC and Weekender
Gun to my head: 5 star
Caribou Lodge Yoyo Works Kodiak. The best there ever was in my opinion.
Oofta. That’s a hard question.
I guess I’d have to say TiRAMiSU (part 1, the D-bearing).
Banshee SS Brass is a reeeaalllllyyy close second (possibly AL7 version once I spend more time with it).
For me it was a toss up between that and the kodiak but I have Stockholm’s syndrome with that yoyo lol
OD Kuntosh 5000QV. The response, finish and feel on the string make it the most satisfying yoyo I’ve ever used, and it’s great from a spin-time/stability standpoint.
Yo-yo factory boost
I’d have to say Autoscopy. It didn’t knock my socks off initially, but it’s become my absolute favorite. It has fantastic power and stability with good agility and string feel. It’s eminently controllable and is the perfect size for tech. It is a little more challenging to hit some slacks, but it makes up for it in maneuverability through tight mounts.
I recently reacquired a Top Deck and I agree it’s utterly fantastic. Perhaps the best designed monometal ever.
Too hard to pick just one… prepare yourself for these categories lmao
Most sentimental: Butter (2nd anniversary gift from my girlfriend, also one of my favorite performing throws), Hatrick (first “high end”/boutique throw that I got at Nationals in 2009, tons of nostalgia and memories associated with this thing)
Favorite classic throw: Peak
Favorite organics: MCMO and Grail
Best performing favorites: Draupnir and WISH
Favorite performing monometal, non-sentimental: Free Solo
Favorite overall non-sentimental, and most used: Panorama, Diorama
Freehand one AL, Panorama
Probably Kanto at the moment. It’s lightness makes it easy and effortless to throw after my long work days and it’s a total blast.
I kind of consider myself a one Drop fanboy, but when I think of my top 3 throws they aren’t on the list. In no particular order because it changes by the day;
G2 Marvel
CLYW Chief
YYWS Halyard
OpYoYos Spright!
Yoyofactory Dogma.
Hands down favorite.
I find it to be the most balanced… not the fastest nor slowest, not the most agile nor least.
It may not take top marks in any one category, but it has the best total score in my humble opinion.
I find it works it’s way into almost every throw session.
I’m still trying out a bunch of yoyos but I find the terrarian to be very floaty and I feel like I can flow with it well. Just like the way it feels, even if it’s not the most stable throw.
