135A= 1A + 3A + 5A So a yoyo that is good for those three styles. Well what is your price range? You mentioned the Genesis so I assume it is atleast $85. Well, the YYF Lunatic meets all of your preferences. Well it has K pads instead of silicone. I use it for 1A and it plays great. It has a wide gap for 3A and 5A. It can grind very well. There are also small and large bearing versions of it. The Lunatic is also a bit smaller than the DM and Legacy. If you want to get two of the same yoyo for 3A then a PGM v2 is a excellent choice. It is close in size to the DM. It is one gram below what you said though. But it also has a texture on it to allow for great grinds despite it being a plastic. The hubstacks are a plus, too.
Alchemy strings usually break in quite fast. Well at least for me they do. They last quite a while. I have had the same one on my PGM v2 for a week and it is still going strong. Alchemy are my favorite strings. Well, I hope this helped.
Don’t go with the pgm. It just is easily beat by my hitman and mini motu and it really spins out faster than all of my yoyos. I like it for 5a though, because I’m a complete beginner in that department.
