YYF is the Walmart of yoyo companies. You can’t beat their quality and prices. They save it on labor.
Also, I own 5.

Exactly. they are able to produce in such bulk that the prices they offer often cannot be matched my smaller companies such as One Drop or CLYW. On the opposite end of the spectrum, producing in bulk does cause the quality to suffer slightly.

YYF offers very few higher end yoyos which one may consider competition throws which are cheaper than other so called competition companies such as CLYW or One Drop. They have budget throws, but when you start comparing max prices, there is not a lot of wiggle room.

I agree.

You can have both quality and quantity, but you have to be sure those making the quantity also care about the quality. Because yoyos are such a precision item. the quality has to come first, and then quantity second. That’s why there’s only so many shops who are making a consistent level of yoyos.

I agree with this, which also explains why so many smaller companies see so much popularity and interest. Controlled production runs allows very close quality control, and eliminating only one or two instead of a whole production batch would be less costly as well.

As for my favorite yoyo company, I’d have to say it is ILYY with my recent acquisition of a 2012 Fury

Actualy this only happens everywhere except china.
Buy American. Or Japanese. Or Swiss.

44recreation : AKA YoyoRecreation. They have so many different models that are all so great. Their designs have redefined what “competition throw” means. Their designs and concepts are often copied.

They also popularized 7075 over 6061 as a better alloy for yoyo performance.
