I have a YYF Supernova which I used in 5a , but if comparing it to YYF catalyst and YYJ destiny, it is super uncomfortable! Anyone else don’t like using h-shaped in 5a? I want to try the Space Cowboy but I only play in 5a! : / ---

I’ve been spending A LOT of time with my space cowboy for 5a. Nothing about it feels uncomfortable. My thumb fits very nicely into the H shape. ---

I love H-shapes for 5A myself. 2012 Genesis, Benchmark H, and Super G are all really good. V-Shapes are also really good. ---

uncomfortable shapes aren’t specific to 5a. I personally don’t have any issues with H-Shape yoyos for any style. ---

I never feel a difference in comfortableness between 5a and 1a. I knew what you meant, I just don’t ever have that feeling. If anything, I would think H-Shapes would be more comfortable for 5a. ---

The supernova and Space Cowboy were built for 5A and 1A. Should be fine. I use a Flipside for 5A and that’s a soft H shape, but Stuart White at NH States used a Ring Master. Severe H Shape Actually, More 5A throws are h shape, but if you don’t prefer it, try freehand AL. Got the style in the name and it’s real solid ---
