For me it is the Unprld Reduction. I just don’t like the feeling of this yoyo it plays like a brick on a string. (It is the weight distribution I think. I have played with 66+ gram yoyos that I really enjoy.) I would pick the Ko’oalu Edge over the reduction anyday. ---

While there are a lot of yoyos I don’t personally like, I don’t think any of them are really “overrated.” Nearly every yoyo has its fans, and that’s cool, even if I don’t particularly like them all. ---

I agree with @ChrisFrancz about the Wedge, though I don’t know if I’d call it _over_ rated since it is hard for me to tell how highly rated it is to begin with. I think the Draupnir is ever-so-slightly overrated, but that’s probably because I didn’t experience its arrival on the scene in 2013, when it was regarded as revolutionary. To me it is just an over-priced competition beast that has been eclipsed by models I like better (e.g., the Hummingbird). ---

Well that was 2013. Nothing heard about the draupnir anymore. The draupnir hype back then was worth it, considering all the other yoyos from that time played like 💩 the shutter/draupnir are the 2 yoyos from 2013 that withstood the test of time. ---

I just can not see how can you possibly put the Hummingbird in the same league as the Draupnir? The Hummingbird is slow, unstable and has mediocre performance. The Draupnir is fast, elegantly-floaty, stable and has ferocious spin. Beyond them both being bi-metal; I fail to see the resemblance. I insta-sold my Hummingbird. ---

> [@YoyoGeezer](#): > > The Hummingbird is slow This is the exact opposite of how I would describe the Hummingbird. In fact, there are few yoyos I’ve tried that I can push faster than the Hummingbird, and sometimes if I’m coming from playing a heavier yoyo, it’s _too_ fast. I’m not surprised though, it’s 2-3 grams lighter, depending on which Draup you have. I do agree that the Drapnir is better overall (especially in the power and stability catagory) but the Hummingbird is definitely a modern classic that also doubles as a performance beast. Both some of the best bimetals you can buy IMO, but different feels for sure though. Apples and oranges. ---
