Still love the metal Harbinger. Pretty confident at this point that it will stay in my collection and playing rotation.
If anyone doesn’t have one start searching, it’s a really great 0A yoyo, I’d put it up there with (or above) most 0A yoyos.

Which OA yoyos beat it @AaronW ? I’d be interested to know.

The caps and shape on the rbc make it one of the most comfortable throws in my collection. It’s not the best YoYo’s but hand feel it’s best there is.

I wouldn’t say anything “beat it”. My Alleycat’s are just home to me. I’ve played them for so long that they’re real comfortable to me.

I also actually love the size, it’s phenomenal for a pocket throw, or just something I can slide in my briefcase, but still has a ton of versatility to it. I was also doing a lot of FAF on an Imperial though, so I thought the gap wasn’t too bad, haha!
Do agree that the Harbinger is a killer throw as well.
I feel like the RBC was kind of 0A leaning towards Looping, and the Harbinger was 0A leaning towards String Tricks

Maybe not beat the Harbinger… I am hoping the Workhorse gives it a run for its money.
Friendly competition of course.

TL;DR: RBC is looping king and has the best hand feel out of all throws of ALL time.
Workhorse is, between these three, jack of all 0-2A trades
Harbinger is in between and better than RBC if hand feel is of no importance (which is straight up blasphemy, imo).
Personally, as an expert novice and with an opinion that hand feel is of the utmost importance:
RBC > Workhorse > Harbinger
RBC / Harbinger are both incredibly excellent at what they were designed to do, however, Workhorse is, but not in and of itself, the jack of all trades, with respect to the competition between these three throws.
Let me explain. If I wanted to go from looping one minute then a stall trick the next then cap it all off with split the atom, Workhorse will let me accomplish this with ease. If all I wanted to do was loop, loop, and loop some more, I’ll grab my RBC or Harbinger.
That being said, none of these throws are bad by any measurable means, in fact, these are all actually my top 3 responsive throws, hands down, in that, while not working, you can bet big money that if you pocket check me, at least one of these will be in my pocket.
But I think between RBC and Harbinger, @Son-of-Morris said it best

To me the metal Harbinger feels like a tool to get a job done. Maybe not as comfortable in the hand as the RBC, but it can handle every single 0A trick you can conceive. If you want to grind out a trick or experiment and create something new, the metal Harbinger is what you should reach for. I still have one completely unopened I’m saving just in case.
Can’t wait for the plastic RBC.

Am I becoming a boomer?
Since I picked up yo-yos again I can’t help but keep thinking how nice a slimmer yoyo would be, like the good ol’ days.
And all of a sudden after not being interested in One Drops since the Markmont project and I’m like “dang these ODs look real nice.”
Please advise.

That is the beauty of this club. Its up to you to decide, based on your own definition.
The requirements to be a “Boomer” are vauge on purpose.

I still think you can only call yourself a “Boomer” if you remember the “Great Grape Ape.”
