Just try out all the yoyos you use for 1a and use what feels right. In 1A you can switch yoyos a lot, but switching yoyos in 5A makes it difficult.

When you start out you shouldn’t use your best 1a yoyo at first, it is really easy to drop and dent up.

Start with a cheap plastic like a FHZ like Tyler did.

I like playing with small bearing yo-yo for 5A because it’s easier to bind in low rpm’s.
