Since you favor YYF I would add the Shu-ta as a consideration. I recently got the Shu-ta and really like it. I prefer it over the Shutter. Stable, comfortable, and a nice steady pace.

I was about to add the Shu-ta, but my mind was not sure about it. Does it play fast or is it floaty?

I like to play semi-fast, having the Accelerator as a good selection on my list. Basically anything that I can play smoothly and is not too slow is just fine for me.

To me it’s pretty relaxed. It’s just a nice steady pace. That coupled with the way it feels in the hand is just fun to throw. I enjoy faster throws usually but I have trouble putting the Shu-Ta down.

Yeah, I was kind of hovering around what One Drop had to offer. It seems really interesting. Does it have a moderate speed where I can perform slacky maneuver tricks?

I really liked how solid the new superstar felt even with how wide it was. Of your list that or the Accelerator would be my choices.
