You can do wonderful 5A with your X-conVict, 4A too! Yo-yo’s really aren’t limited by styles like that. Buy/make a counterweight and you’re on your way!

that is that. all the reason you need to get a counterweight. you could get a fh0, because they are fun to mod, but if you want to save money and all you are looking for is 5a, just get a counterweight
