I use my dark Magic or my Legacy.  
A Velocity or a PGM or both good choices.

aplastic grind machine would be a great choice!There are also FH0 but those require some moddind to play really good.

In my opinion, PGM’s are better then my YYJ Bi-Metals for 5a :wink:

A nice yoyo I find good for 5A is the new yomega hotshot.  
Its my main 5A throw right now.

Very smooth, great response, awesome play.

I love it.

Other yoyos would be the FHZ, and the PGM.  
Both great 5A players also.

I think sticking with your Speedmaker would be fine.  
If you want another yoyo that’ a solid 5A player, I recommend the Kickside. It’s durable, has a comfortable shape, and has great balance with a duncan die!

I’m using my PGM. It’s great for 5A cause you can change weight of the yoyo, it’s durable and very smooth.

I use my FHZ… its a good throw. Then again, I barely ever throw 5a.
