I’ve been having a lot of fun dabbling in modern yoyo offerings and figuring out what performs best for me. Yoyorecreation has a few throws I’d love to try, but given the higher prices, I don’t feel like it would be very responsible to splurge on all of them just to see how they play, lol.
These are the four I keep coming back to. I’m sure they’re all bangers, but I’m curious: how do the YYR aficionados would rank them?

I’m currently leaning toward the Savage and Liminal Autoscopy.
I included the Savage55 because it looks interesting, but I’m starting to lean away from ultra-wide yoyos. I’ve found them a little less forgiving as it’s easier for me to introduce wobble with a less-than-perfect breakaway. I realize that’s mostly a technique issue, but it’s something I notice much less with narrower throws.
I own all the ones you listed here and more. I think Liminal is the best performing YYR ever. But my personal favorite is Savage. Despite the performance it is still very fun and the power is not overly-jarring. Liminal is a fun player too, but it just feels a bit more comp-oriented. Can’t go wrong with either. They are top 2 YYR neck to neck.
But I have to tell you that neither is close to Klondike or Adrenaline rush. I would describe those 2 as snappy and powerful, while liminal and savage has a “softer” feeling. Bae, Upheaval expansion, and toru are more similar in terms of play to Klondike.

agreed that the liminal is the best in terms of performance here but savage is my favorite, I think the savage strikes the best balance in terms of being easy to move with great performance and I haven’t met a single person who couldn’t appreciate the savage even if it’s not their type of yoyo
I also agree that none of the yoyos listed come close to the klondike (haven’t thrown the adrenaline rush) because I find the klondike slower and more rimweighted than all of them, I’d probably put it closest to the bae/toru lineup as well, but I don’t think the liminal is too far behind here
