My favorite yoyo. Like a good middle ground between the Miracle and the GTR-JS. Probably one of my favorite colorways of all time with the summer stars colorway too.
Solid feeling, very maneuverable. The pacing isn’t particularly fast like the GTR-JS, but its weight doesn’t feel as forward as the Miracle’s weight feels. A very very nice middle ground. I think the only thing I’d tweak is to give the rim a slight curve.
Really good for just about anything. Crazy good for zontals and zoning in particular.

One of the most hype yoyos in the competitive scene right now. At Worlds basically everyone was trying to either get their hands on this or try it. Not a single person I’ve met has said they thought this yoyo sucked or that they didn’t like it.
And yeah- I get it. It’s insanely good. Based on performance alone it could easily be SS-Tier. But there’s one glaring issue.
This yoyo is SO fatiguing to use. Forget using this yoyo if you’re physically exhausted. Didn’t sleep well and still feeling groggy? Muscles just not fired up properly for the day? You’ll feel it.
It has a VERY forward presence and because it’s on the heavier side, you feel it. The Savage is CRAZY powerful. Slightly above average speed, stability is insane. In most cases, a yoyo built like the savage would be hard to control but because it has such a forward presence and it’s heavy, it’s not the worst thing to control. Fairly average in that regard.
This yoyo is a beast for zoning and zontals in particular. When I asked pros what they thought of this yoyo before I got it, literally all of them said “It makes hard tricks easy”
This yoyo definitely fits the bill for a yoyoer like Ayumu Kasuga. Yoyorecreation claims it’s perfect for players looking to be aggressive and high-speed, they’re not lying.
I’d rate it higher but this yoyo can be exhausting. Definitely not for everyone either.

A worthy successor to the Draupnir in a properly “modern” fashion in all ways but width. A shift away from the old-age preference towards speed and maneuverability that the Draupnir had in favor of more power and raw capability for modern, more strenuous tricks.

Copped this at Worlds, I kept hassling Justin on when this was dropping.
It’s… good! At everything 
No, but for real lol the yoyo is really good.
Evolve is a very maneuverable, slightly quick paced, but nothing crazy. Compared to other options in this performance tier it’s a bit more middle-of-the-road regarding power, not lacking in the slightest but it definitely doesn’t kick as hard as some other yoyos.
The binds piss me off though, I think I get this yoyo to bind about 20% of the time with alphaline.
Between this and the Wilderness, this is a bit less heavy feeling and a bit more maneuverable. Compared to how the Wilderness feels powerful this feels a bit more average (in regards to power).

Sampled at Worlds, then regretted not buying it so I traded for it.
The epitome of the modern competitive monometal. Bigger usually doesn’t mean better but in this case… It does, boys.
Nicely powerful, highly controlled yoyo. Bit unpleasant for rail combos, but it handles well for when you just wanna hit your tricks but fast. An absolute monster for zoning and zontals.
Tech players might be conflicted, if you prefer tighter more dense mounts where the yoyo weaves between string gaps you might be averse to this. If you have a lot of swinging slacks and whips to catch, you may love this yoyo. Overall I haven’t had a problem with either though.
Everyone should at least try this yoyo.
