Hello, recently my MYY N12’s threads got stripped and it’s only been 4 months. I’m not planning to get another N12 so I did some research and narrowed my choices down to the C3 level 6 YYF horizon YYO Musket Duncan Torque I play mainly 5a but do dabble in 1a occasionally. However this throw is mainly for 5a. If you have other suggestions, the requirements are that it is a budget metal (Not over 50USD excluding shipping to SG), is more durable than the N12 and is extremely versatile and stable. Thank you. ---

My go to 5a Throw is the shutter, this is because of its low price, high stability, and long spin times. Im sure any of these throws would also work for you too ---

I’d personally go for the torque but they’re all good choices. I just prefer the stepped shape over the others
