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. ---

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! ---

> [@GregP](#): > > 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? ---

> [@cbc631](#): > > Which shape do you prefer? 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.
