Most all yoyos have unique qualities or characteristics that make them., at the very least, somewhat enjoyable to play. However, some yoyos just miss that mark completely, resulting a dreadfully average/boring yoyo. What yoyo(s) fit this description? I nominate the SK 😕 ---

These responses are almost as boring as the aforementioned yoyos :skull: ---

I would add the Horizon. I find it boring, I know it is innovative-ish for its time on diameter and fingerspin, but the world caught up. ---

Also, it’s really similar to that thread that was made recently about popular yoyos that you just couldn’t get into. ---

I disagree. While they are slightly similar, that thread focused more on yoyos that didn’t live up to the hype, rather than boring yoyos in general. My post also asked for a superlative of sorts, unlike the other thread. ---

Most of my yoyos are solid finishes, which means they are _all_ boring according to @codinghorror. ---

So far the most boring yoyo in my collection is a poly wedge. I bought it for $10 on a whim because I’ve heard good things about it. For me it didn’t live up to the things I’ve heard about it and I still think the protostar is one of the best budget plastics yyf has ever released. ---

That’s the one I have too. I also think it is the best budget plastic yoyo I have along with the Sage. ---

Can we talk about how the Protostar was released TEN years ago. At $35, I would say it took almost 5 years for anything to catch up to its performance at that price. I remember when I was getting into the game in 2012-2013ish, people were still recommending the Protostar all over the place. It was still the yoyo to beat under $40. And in 2009 it was probably one of the best yoyos on the market in general. Now it’s being sold for $15. That’s insane, I still think it’s the best yoyo you can buy as of now under $25. One of YYF’s best releases. Only thing it doesn’t have going for it is the DANG spacers. I had 3 or 4 of them at one point. Too. Good. ---
