Does anyone think that most modern yoyos are boring?

I was hoping this thread would be more about how the yoyos play than how they look. :slight_smile:

The problem as I see it gets on soapbox is that going for pure performance pushes yoyo design towards the same thing, low walls and high rim weight. With every company refining the same design it is certainly a win for performance but is that all there is? If performance is the most important thing, then why are we playing with such simple toys in the first place?
