A Look at the Turner Return Tops Buoy

A Look at the Turner Return Tops Buoy

Sometimes you come across a yo-yo that feels right. It may not be your favorite throw, most powerful, longest spinning; it's just so comfortable. For me, that's the Turner Return Tops Buoy. I first encountered the Buoy when participating in a Pay if Forward box for...

W1LD | MILD | A-Tier

Specs: Diameter - 56mm Width - 46mm Weight - 64.9g Materials - 6061 Alu Body w/ SS Rims My current EDC. Really really good but it’s overshadowed by the new Milder, which lends itself to being a bit more maneuverable, which, by extension, makes the Milder more pleasant...

A Look at the MK1 x Turner Return Tops Bathysphere

Released in January of 2024, the Bathysphere turned heads with its beautiful organic profile, Side-Effects compatibility, and the fact that it is produced by two amazing companies, MK1 and Turner Return Tops. A stout looking throw, it looks heavier than it is, coming...

Review: Yoyorecreation | Savage | A-Tier

Specs: Diameter - 56mm Width - 50mm Weight - 68g Materials - 7075(?) W/ Alu Body & PC Rings 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...

Review: Yoyorecreation | Upheaval | S-tier

Specs: Diameter - 56.5mm Width - 45mm Weight - 65.5g Materials - 7075(?) Alu body w/ SS Rims 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...

Specs: Diameter - 55.85mm Width - 50.17 Weight - 65.7g Materials - 7075 Alu 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...

Review: W1LD | Wilderness (7075) | SS-Tier

Specs: Diameter - 57.97mm Width - 52mm Weight - 66g Materials - 7075 Alu 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...

Review: Japan Technology | Jugemu ’24 | A-Tier

Specs: Diameter - 56.36mm Width - 51.88mm Weight - 66.4g Materials - 6061 Alu More performant than the old Jugemu but it’s just odd, which is bad coming from the old Jugemu which was already odd. So janky. Does weird things in play. Not very controllable. Strange...

Specs: Diameter - 58.02mm Width - 58.2mm Weight - 65g Materials - 6061 Alu Body w/ PC Rings and SS Rims Sampled this at Worlds. Performance wise: it’s a good yoyo! I can’t really think of any major criticisms in regard to the performance. But maaaan the design is...

Review: W1LD | Adrenaline | S-Tier

Specs: Diameter - 55mm Width - 50mm Weight - 65.9g Materials - 6061 Alu Body w/ PC Rings and SS Rims Sampled this at Worlds. Probably the most hyped yoyo at the W1LD booth. Pretty much everyone wanted to try this yoyo the second we walked onto the venue: And a LOT of...
