This is really hard to do. But here it goes.
- Banshee '18 AL7
- Elite '18 (brass rings)
- OG cadence
- Batsquatch
- Firedevil Ridgeback
Not necessarily in that order. Depends on the mood.

Resurrecting this thread, it’s been a long time but the Diffraction has finally been surpassed, at least for now
- Flame
- TiWide Angle
- Diffraction
- Butter
- ND
I’m starting to gravitate more and more towards the idea of sticking to mostly just YYF, even after all the various brands and designs I’ve tried since coming back to the hobby. I’m already drastically scaling back my yo-yo purchases, and despite my issues with YYF qc it’s nice to not have to worry about drops selling out instantly, low availability and few restocks, outside of very select releases.
I just want this hobby to be all fun no stress, so anything I can do that’s one less thing to worry about is nice.

Top five as in most used current rotation:
- Yomega Fireball
- Duncan Ballistic
- Off-Road Hand Rover
- C3 Krown
- Duncan Butterfly XT
Fireball and Ballistic easily make the list because they are easy to carry in pocket and go anywhere with so I use them quite often.
Dark Magic is still my all-time favorite though.
