anyone else try using a yyf whip or some cheap dun cans for 5a? its so fun. my whip is so unstable its fun trying to see how many tangles i can do. way r ur favorite cheap 5a throws? try putting a cw on each and every one of ur yo-yos.
really can’t go wrong with a FHZ in my opinion. I’m about to order my second one here soon!
Naw I’m sayin, get wat u might consider to be a horrible/beginner yoyo from ur collection, and put a cw on it. I’ve been doin that, and it’s so fun.
OOOOOO ok…well in that case i guess i should try putting it on my yomega dash!
depending on what you would call “cheap”, but the YYJ destiny is where it’s at for 5A practice
Duncan Imperial is sooooo boss.
YYJ unleashed.
So far, YYF Die-Nasty.
IMO the proto star is perfect for 5a, inexpensive, plastic and high Performing… Only problem is you really need 2 because it’s such a good yoyo, you’ll want one for 5a and 1a
Lyn Fury. Hands down
fixed.

Throwing a painted Northstar and an 09 Severe right now.
the flying squerrel is a great cheap for 5A, but throw monkey is what I started on for all yoyoing. but now i use a northstar FTW

Siliconed Kickside, or siliconed FHZ. Stock, right out of the box Die-Nasty. To me the Whip is a little small for 5A, but I don’t understand why people talk it down. I mean OK, it’s not rare, or expensive. Owning one will not impress anyone, or make anyone like you. But to me, saying that they “tilt” or are unstable, or don’t spin long enough just tells me the poster needs to work on their throw. Sorry.
siliconed fhzs paper maches lyn furys kicksides whips…
I realized I didn’t properly read your post
I used to have fun with a YYF One on double dice setup, didn’t like the whip in 5A tho
I just bought a counterweight and was going to put it on my Duncan Imperial. The counterweight costed more than the Imperial lol. I note some people have said they have tried it but I’m curious to hear more details.

I play counterweighted Butterflies and Butterfly XTs for responsive 5A. They are not my favorite but they work. I vastly prefer the XT at the same cost.
I own a pair of Imperials that I use for looping. I would presume that the same thing that’s frustrating about Imperials for 0A, the rather narrow catch zone, would have a similar impact for responsive 5A.

imperial for 5A… That sounds really rough. honestly fixed for 5a sounds hard. I can barely keep from launching my freehand across the room when doing 5a.
