Forgot about the Skyva! Yeah honestly that one was a massive disappointment for me. Had so much hype leading up to the release. Jeffrey Pang sure knows how to sell a yoyo :joy: ---

Honestly _most_ entry level plastics are quite boring, to me anyway. The Protostar is only interesting because it was so ahead of its time. The problem with these is that they’re mostly just “hey the people wanted cheaper versions of the better metal {x}” where {x} is edge, joyride gt, metal skyva, and so on. I say put your big boy pants 👖 on and get the _real_ version, which is metal 🤘 ---

i’d say the YYF Boost is the most boring i own. its so boring i had to go on YYE to search for its name. protostar and diffusion 2 are at such a great price point right now; i bought the 44Clash one too! ---

It’s a better version of the Horizon, but I feel it’s still just too narrow by today’s standards. ---

I like to assess my yoyos, in terms of how they play/perform, using a good-bad spectrum: amazing, excellent, very good, good, average, below average, bad, and horrible. I suppose for me a “boring” yoyo is one that is _average_. Not good enough to climb into the good range of the spectrum and not bad enough to fall into the bad range of the spectrum. A throw which is so unremarkable that I forget I have it. I have a few like that, but if I had to pick just one as the “most average” (i.e., most forgettable, or most boring) it would probably be my **Ko’olau Edge**. But really, it isn’t significantly more average (or boring) than any of the others that I tend to forget I have. ---

Most bimetals are boring to me. There are a few that I enjoy (blockade and edge mainly, with the occasional pound) but 80% of them are boring to me.
