Im looking to purchase my first one drop yoyo and im stuck between:
Hairband Cascade
Gold Benchmark “V”
Looking for any opinions on either! thanks 
Really depends on what you’re looking for
The cascade is more organic and comfortable. It’s one of the few one drops that I really enjoyed the feel of thanks to it being midsized and midweighted. It’s not super fast but an overall fun yoyo to play.
well right now I’ve got:
Avalanche
Delrin Severe
Genesis
Whip
Dv888
Capless
Im looking for something different and realistically they’re both different from what i have
Well I have all 4 of the benchmarks and they are fantastic throws. I have not tried the cascade but I am sure it’s great if it comes from OD
Which shape do you prefer?
Benchmarks are all great, I personally love the O but everyone’s different. Have you considered the MarkMont Classic (since you’re looking at the Cascade)? It’s phenomenal!
Man, I LOVE the Cascade. I find it pretty fast actually, with ultralight Side Effects.
I’m looking for fast. I find my Avalanche sooo slow. I actually play my Felton severe more than anythig because it’s so zippy. I have a YYR Six on the way here too. Anyone know anythig about how it plays?
They all play very well. May favorite shape is the H for learning tricks on because it it the most stable and solid of the 4 and second would be the O for fine tuning this tricks.
