I want a non-metal 5a yoyo, I prefer Hybrids and Delrins. I feel good with my YYJ Destiny and I want to have a better 5a yoyo, I think YYJ Quest is my best choice but I just don’t want this yoyo, I think its sticker is ugly!! So, is there any yoyo I should try with? ---

I hear people love using the Diffusion for 5a, might want to check that out! ---

The Diffusion is pretty good. It doesn’t have quite the sleep times I want out of a yoyo, but the stability needed is there and I enjoy the weight. The Protostar is another good option. It’s all catch zone and it’s sleep times and stability are more than sufficient for 5a play. If you want a cheaper option, I’d recommend the Sage (not available here) with a centertrak bearing. It’s real top notch and is one of the very, very few fully plastic yoyos that I can get through all of my tricks with comfortably. The Quest is a really great player, but it doesn’t quite have the sleep times that I want out a 5a yoyo. It’s a “try before you buy” yoyo, in my opinion, especially for the price. If you want a yoyo that’s very well known for it’s 5a play, consider the Barracuda. It’s not plastic, but it’s a stellar player and one of my favorite all time yoyos. It’s plenty durable too, so you don’t have to worry about it stripping after lots of drops. ---

The sage is just a onestar with fancy caps ---

The one drop rally is probably the best way to go. Idk how much you want to spend, but the rally is $45 and definitely top 3 plastics on the market. Good rim weight, dead smooth. Idk if they’re in stock, if not you may be able to find one on bst ---

Good rim weight, dead smooth. > Idk if they’re in stock, if not you may be able to find one on bst I’ve knocked the Side Effects out of a couple of Rallys from dropping it during 5a, so I wouldn’t recommend it. Not durable enough. It’s a real shame, the Rally is a top notch performer. ---

XLR8 is pretty nice. The YYJ Pinnacle is good, the Diffusion is good, and I personally really like using Surges for 5a when I do it, but mine is also slightly modded for a wider gap.
