What is the best Candy Dice Counterweight for those experienced in their usage? I was looking at the Pro Comet as it looked interesting but if anyone has any better ideas I’m open to them. For reference I’ve been doing 5A for about 8 months so I’m starting to border on not-a-complete-noob and have a Duncan Dice and a Porykon Saturn. I’m just looking for something heavy and less clumsy than the Dice for my counterweight (for more reference I like the Saturn A LOT but it is really light for me).

Not candy weight, but I make an xl globe that is a bit heavier and larger than normal. I’ll be able to get pictures and weights tomorrow when I’m back home.

There’s no best as a general thing, just different, with different design goals for different playstyles.

If you want something noticeably heavier get a Porykon Momiji Cube. If you’re interested in getting something from Candy Dice though definitely go with the Pro Square imo, Pro Square I just don’t believe is stocked at any retailers outside of Japan, so Momiji Cube will just end up being cheaper.

This is my globe xl with the large cap compared to a standard fh die(10.7gms) for size comparison.
