I play 5A and got 8th Place at the National Yoyo Contest this year. My setup for that contest was:

GN Yoyo Co Phoenix Prototype (7075), YYE poly cut short, rubber ball counterweight (to make up for the huge 71g weight of the yoyo)

I also enjoy the below setups:

YoYoFactory Metal Replay, YYE poly cut short, dice  
CLYW Cliff, YYE poly cut short, dice  
GN Yoyo Co Phoenix Prototype (6061), YYE poly cut short, dice

Plastic plus a bouncy ball so I stand less of a chance of hurting anybody or anything. Daydream or Classic. Polyester string on the longer side. I don’t do a lot of 5A, but it is a fun feeling to have everything in motion and under control.
