Our favorites from 2024
Ever wondered what the team’s favorite non-ALT yo-yos, freestyles, and players are?
Here’s a little glimpse into our team’s thoughts outside of ALT. We originally compiled all this info back in December… but kind of forgot about it.
I also asked around before making this post—some folks said it might devalue our brand by promoting another brand/player. But honestly, who cares? It’s a small community, and this is a small blog. Maybe getting to know our preferences will give you a better idea of the kinds of yo-yos and freestyles we enjoy.
PS: Some yo-yos mentioned weren’t released in 2024—but hey, they’re still our players’ most recent favorites!

Favorite Non-ALT Yo-yo – W1LD: Anceps
My favorite yo-yo of 2024? As a casual player its honestly quite tough to choose one, but if it’s my most played yo-yo, it would be the Login by SENSE. Another yo-yo I really like was Adrenaline by W1LD & Sibyl by DIS I don't own either one so I always borrow it whenever I get the chance.
Currently in 2025 I really like the Anuran by Aufheben, Messiah 666 by YYR & Anti-Mono 2 by SENSE.
