It turns out my favorite of that set was also the Survivalist, but a new challenger approaches in the El Mijo Polycarb. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/7/7/4/7744e193fe393ebf37e439e6028ab8edaef09ba3.jpeg) I think I’ve realized that the regen is the most important element to me for responsive 5A, hence why I gravitate to the heavier throws. All in all I think I prefer a bearing for responsive 5A. ---

I also have a general question about stalls—is my goal to get as much of the string wound up as possible before I interrupt the Yoyo returning or do I just need enough to do a good regen? ---

In my experience it’s about finding a balance between getting enough string in the gap to get a nice regen while also not having so much string that it messes with the stability of the stall. Different tricks may require more or less to make it a bit easier. ---

generally i would say as much as possible allowing for what you want to do WITHIN the stall. if you want to hit a bunny flip or a varial, too tight is a liability. if you want to do a lunar flip, too loose is. more wind means more regen potential, but if you can get it back the way you want to, there’s no right or wrong. ---

Okay thanks y’all that is super helpful! I did mess up basically immediately and right away threw a hell knot into the wing I don’t think I can’t get it out like I been trying for too long already…is there anything to try besides carefully going at the string w a serrated knife ? Edit:Nevermind I was impatient and just cut it live and learn! Hah ---

Lots of knot pick ideas here: > [@What is your favorite tool for knots?](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/what-is-your-favorite-tool-for-knots/334191): > > This zipline strings tool is amazing, but it’s also too thick for thinner gaps like fixed axles. What do you use to untie knots? I use the flat edge of a pocket knife as a pick and when that doesn’t work, I turn it over and start cutting. ---
