> [@A\_Lonely\_Yo-Yo](#): > > There isnt one. No imo needed because there will never be one yoyo that everyone would judge the best yoyo. BUT there are a lot of people that would choose their favorite yoyo so the IMO is needed. You are right with the other part of your statement though. Considering with yoyos, asking what’s the best is an opinionated question. He also asked what we thought. Meaning our opinion. I gave mine. Please completely read and understand the OP’s post before making snap judgements like that. ---

This is a question that gets tossed around alot, and never gets any real answers. In all seriousness, there is one yo-yo that far exceeds the performance of any of todays yoyo’s. I’m speaking, of course, of the Caribou Lodge Snipe. This was actually their first release that preceded the Peak by over a year. a very small batch was released, marketed exclusively as a precision butterfly yoyo’s with a custom size C 12 ball Hemi bearing geared toward left handed players. It utilized mokume gane metallurgy techniques and could be tuned to co-inside with the gravitational profile of you’re specific geographic area. Unfortunately, due to the cost of the materials, the stress caused to the expensive machinery required to mill the yoyo’s, and the ethical concerns of the imminent failure of the competing yoyo companies, the project was eventually scrapped. Though about 30 we’re distributed successfully, so you might still be able to find one if you ask around. ---

no, only 5 of them. of the remaining 25, 5 of them are owned by private people, 3 of them got destroyed, 7 of them were never sold and are burried under the original CLYW lab that was destroyed by an earthquake, and the last 10 are scattered around the world hidden each in one of the 10 wonders of the world. legend has it that the man who collects all 10 of those, the 10 snipes that are lost on earth, that man who wasted his life doing nothing at all.
