That would be quite a list, especially if you mean for every division.

Last year:  
1A: Gentry - Shutter  
2A: Takuma - Loop 1080? I’m not sure  
3A: Hajime - Phaser  
4A: Rei - Rextreme 4 or something like that?  
5A: Takeshi - I think it was a Palpitation

Heres what I know for 1a

2007 Yuuki Spencer, 2007 aqua 888  
2008 John Ando, Superstar prototype?  
2009 Shinya Kido, Sleipner Prototype?  
2010 Jensen Kimmitt, Orange Northstar  
2011 Marcus Koh, Positron  
2012 Hiroyuki Suzuki, Anglam  
2013 Janos Karancz, Barracuda

This isn’t a complete list, but here is a [spreadsheet with several of the yoyos used by top 3 finishers from 2003-2013](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19zh5oCf6qPSyc_xmxkgHP1qCYRHTca6kCzAg20QwUrA/edit?usp=sharing).

Yuuki won 1A in 2002 with a Duncan Freehand.

I know there are lists of all the players that have won at worlds but is there a list that shows what yoyo’s were used? If you can shed some light or provide some links please do! 🙂

it also shows that the yoyo isn’t what actually wins the Worlds. I’ve played a Shutter and, trust me, I was in no danger of winning anything. However, it is nice that for ~$50 anyone can buy the same throw that was used to win worlds.
