Eternal Throw Victory  
YYF Aviator  
YYF Space Cowboy  
YYJ H3X

Really hard to decide on favorites though, because I also really love my H3X, Gnarwhal, Orbis…

1. Onedrop Rally
2. Onedrop Markmont.Classic
3. Yoyofactory ‘Doomsday’ Genesis
4. CLYW Chief
5. YoyofactoryxTP Proton

I can’t believe that I traded away my old Chief because it wasn’t my thing. Now I can’t get enough of it. Just shows that tastes change over time. ;D

Also very tempted to pick up a YYF Dogma just because of my love of the Proton. If anyone owns both (Totalartist I’m looking in your direction) and could give me a bit of a comparison that’d be fantastic. 🙂

in no particular order, as they are all different and depending on what type of throwing I’m in the mood for, any of these could be my favorite at that moment.

YYF Mutant DNA

</div>

1. Luftverk Evora, purple glass dust
2. Sturm Panzer Leo Sniper MKII, aurora
3. YYR Draupnir, matte gunmetal
4. OD Citizen
5. CLYW Yeti, grey

Those top 3 spots are definite answers, and unlikely to change anytime soon; those 3 are just unbelievably good and incredibly fun to throw. The 4th and 5th spots are heavily contested by a handful of other throws in my collection, but this is just my top 5 as they currently sit in order on my shelf.

Honorable mentions that routinely battle their way into those 4th/5th slots, in no particular order:

OD Sovereign  
Anti-yo Stealthzilla, Viszilla, and Bapezilla.2  
3yo3 Ti5  
SPYY Addiction v2  
YYF Titanium Dream, raw

3 more will also be joining that royal rumble sometime in the near future:

G2 Marvel, /r/Throwers edition, as I’ve previously owned a Marvel and know it’s in those ranks. Seriously an outstanding throw, I can’t wait to have one again.

Turning Point Palpitation, in blasted gunmetal grey. I’ve only heard good things about it, and the design is appealing to me, so I think it will easily hold its own and throw some haymakers.

And lastly, I’ll eventually receive an Anti-yo BSP.2 (TiYo). It probably won’t perform as well as most of the others I’ve listed, but I know this one will become my “take absolutely anywhere and everywhere” yoyo, as its size is pocket friendly, and it’ll be really durable seeing as it’s titanium. I’ll be throwing the all ceramic bearing from my Evora in it, in order to really make it anywhere/everywhere friendly. This designation will definitely get it into the ring with the others.

3. YYR Draupnir
4. YYR Sputnik
5. YYF Too Hot

I thought I’d revive this topic rather than restart it as a new one.

Here are my current top 5 favorites by type (and in no particular order either; consider them all more or less tied for “1st place” in their respective categories). And by “favorite” I mean that these are the throws I find myself reaching for the most.

Top 5 favorite **monometals** :

- One Drop VTWO
- One Drop Format:C
- One Drop Kuntosh 5000QV
- G2 Banshee
- iYoYo TiRROX  
(Honorable Mention goes to the One Drop Mantis)

Top 5 favorite **bimetals** :

- YoYoFriends Hummingbird
- G2 Elite
- TopYo Dominator
- Mowl M+
- YoYoRecreation Anomaly  
(Honorable Mention goes to the Mythril Gravitas)

Top 5 favorite **plastics/hybrids** :

- C3YoyoDesign Gamma Crash _(this one is every bit as good as a bimetal, folks)_
- YoYoFactory ProtoStar
- ■■■■■■■■■■ Sage
- YoYoJam Spinfaktor X  
(I don’t think I have a fifth favorite…plastics/hybrids aren’t really my jam)
