This is true of most of the fancy hybrids, I’d say all of the following are just as good as bimetal (minus the durability, and additional noise of plastic):

  • Ippon
  • Iceberg
  • Surveil
  • Diffusion

And the POM Draupnir you like to bring up (no love for the Triad, btw?), pretty much anything in this true hybrid category has a ton of performance, easily equal to bimetal.

Yoyorecreation Draupnir, yoyofriends Hummingbird, Mowl Surveillance, Unprld Flashback and yoyofriends Magpie. In that order for me. I am getting a TISS hummingbird in a couple of days so that might top the list :grin:.

  1. Yotricks Sage (really REALLY good for beginners)
  2. MagicYoyo Purpleline (good wide throw if you’re into that type of stuff)
  3. Yoyofactory Horizon- (nothing to be said)
  4. Yoyofactory Shutter ( Would’ve been my favorite throw but somebody stole it back in 7th grade, and to just have $55 just taken away like that was pretty upsetting)
  5. General-Yo Ministar 2 (Best undersized throw I’ve ever used)

What’s wrong with the shutter?

I feel like there is a fatigue for the shutter in the community. I recently made a post reply on how tired I am of hearing about how amazing One Drop is; so I get it.

So “yeah I said it” = me fighting a feeling of being a hypocrite for loving something so popular, and a mild fear that I may be judge as a noob for it by everyone here because my narcissism whispers in my ear “everyone cares about what you think”

Hope that explains it.

I have a small collection so I can only base it on that however my five favourite (in no order) are:

CLYW Orca
CLYW Kayak
CLYW Manatee
Onedrop Benchmark O 2016
2Sickyoyos Queen

I also really dig the old school CLYW Puffin I have along with my Onedrop Vanguard however I have only had those two for a few weeks so I don’t feel like I know them well enough at this stage
