Just coming back into throwing after at least a 5 year hiatus, and I gotta say I’m BLOWN AWAY at how good even $40-$50 monometals are nowadays. You used to have to pay $100 for that level of quality, smoothness, etc, but it seems manufacturers have lowered costs while increasing quality, which I think is GREAT for us players. That said, there’s quite a few throws I need to try, coming back into this, and I have some on the way and will update my top 5 accordingly. But I’ve already gotten a Shutter and Horizon since they seem to have been two of the bigger throws during my absence, and a good baseline I can use to judge higher end throws. Here’s how the ranking stands for me at this moment in time: 1. YYF Shutter 2. General Yo M10 3. CLYW Avalanche (OG) 4. General Yo KLR 5. YYF Horizon ---

Just like the Kardashians, I don’t have favorites. However, some throws I’ve been really enjoying: 1. OD Fat tire 2. Markmont Magnus Opus 3. Dan Oliver tiger shark 4. YYF Supernova 5. Og YYF Northstar also, the Tigershark has really gotten me back into responsive, I wanna try wooden fixed axles, if I could get some recommendations from yall that would be huge. ---

> [@JavaDogs](#): > > I wanna try wooden fixed axles, if I could get some recommendations from yall that would be huge. I second this. I’d love to try fixies, but I can’t bring myself to spend $50 on a nice one when I don’t even know if I’ll like it. So if anybody has inexpensive recommendations I’m all ears. Do fixies ever go on the BST? Wouldn’t mind a second-hand one. ---

> [@BadWolfeCo](#): > > I’d love to try fixies, but I can’t bring myself to spend $50 on a nice one when I don’t even know if I’ll like it. I understand that. When I tried my first modern wooden fixed axle, I took the plunge to buy one and the moment I threw it some kind of switch flipped in my head, I knew it was something I was going to throw until I croaked. The Legend Wing is a great model for getting started. ---

My current top list only includes 4 yoyos. All are less than 56mm in diameter and at least 67g. 1. YoyoScientific TriplePoint (68g) 2. Duncan MKT (67g) 3. Beboo M2 (unfortunately a bootleg of a Magicyoyo T9, except schmooved, 68g) 4. DV888 (69g) I’m absolutely loving solid feeling yoyos at the moment. ![20201104_213412](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/1/e/6/1e60dc7eda1c1ac6e53a3c4b1759d776284d6ab4.jpeg) ![20201104_213304](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/8/a/a/8aa4d99e71860035484353bd8002987cde9823dd.jpeg) ---
