Modern yoyos are significantly different than the yoyos that were popular 100, 50, even 20 years ago. This is a flashback into the past, looking at the 5 yoyos that revolutionized yoyoing and have led us to the modern yoyo.

I get that it's yyf and you guys don't like to acknowledge that your competitors exist too much, but like... how could you not mention the duncan butterfly or freehand? Not to mention some of the stuff that came out of yomega and yoyojam in the 90s and early 2000s. Even with yyf alone, things like the superstar, protostar, and 888 were all probably worth mentioning.

I only ever played with an 80s style responsive when I grew up. My cousin who was older than me had a really good yoyo that I learned the basics on. Learning about and then buying an unresponsive has revolutionized my life. Contrary to everyone else, I think learning tricks on this is much easier and more fun.

I always thought the Bumblebee GT was one of the most revolutionary yoyo's in history in that brought such incredible performance at a very affordable price. Basically every kid that was going cool tricks had learned on one. Having seen the video, he definitely took a different approach by showing yoyo's that revolutionized but may not have necessarily been popular. This was super educational and interesting

I don't agree with the last one, sure the shutter was a nice yoyo for its price, winning a world title but what about yoyós like the dv888 or Duncan yoyós, they definitely should have thought out the last one more as there where many yoyos that did well like the shutter, it shouldn't have been based off of the price of the yoyo for its quality of work. It should have been based off of the history and how it changed up the yoyo game, bringing new ideas and impacting the game dramatically The shutter definitely did not do as much work as other modern day yoyos.

Playmaxx, Yohans family's company was bought out by Duncan... not sure that it was altogether amicable? google is your friend there ;).. playmaxx were fairly litigious though... what goes around comes around. My favourite yoyo of all time - Henry's Coral Snake - was never the same after they were forced to change the design of the response system (could have been by Duncan after the buyout though?)

I can agree with the comments saying Shutter doesn't exactly fit here, but only because it's the top 5. Shutter absolutely belongs in the Top 10, mostly because I truly believe someone else would have broken the price barrier at some point. Yo-yos used to not cost that much either, so there was a period where the price began to run away and was brought back down. But as revolutionary as the Shutter was, there are a few yo-yos not mentioned that had a massive impact on yo-yoing and whether or not yo-yos would survive long enough for the Shutter or its predecessors to be made at all.

If YoYoFactory wanted to talk about their own revolutionary designs, why didn't they mention the Nine Dragons? I understand Gentry was in the video and they felt like they needed to connect it back to him, but even so if that was the case why not mention the Replay, seeing as Gentry won the World's with it's impressive design as well? Don't get me wrong the original shutter is one of the most loved yo-yos in my collection (plus the most dinged up seeing as it was my first metal unresponsive.) However, I still feel like the hub stack design, and the Nine Dragons has more potential moving forward as changing how we play with a Yo-Yo. Similarly the Horizon Yo-Yo's design is another great example for a yoyo that has influenced play.
