So I see some yo yos can do like 1A, 3A, and 5A. Other stuff like that  
I have a couple of questions:  
2A-Can a yo yo that does 2A, do other plays of yo yo. Or is it just fit with 2A  
4A- Same above.  
5A- So I see people saying that like Code 2 and Burnside can do 1A, 3A, and 5A… How? Do you reattach the dice over and over to do 5A and then take it off for 3A and 1A. Or is it fit for only 5A and you order it specifically with a dice. If you can reattach the dice, how do you do it?

2a:&nbsp; No, 2a yoyos are made for looping.

4a:&nbsp; 4a yoyos are made for off-string.

5a:&nbsp; This is how you put a counterweight on:

Yes, you can take the counterweight off to play 1a and 3a, but, most people just keep a string with a counterweight on it, so they don’t have to switch it.

You could use a 1a yoyo for 4a, but in no way is it a good idea

You could probably use a 4A yoyo for 1A too if you really wanted to. Wouldn’t work particularly well but it’s possible.
