[http://www.yoyonation.com/product.php?productid=16855&cat=275&page=1](http://www.yoyonation.com/product.php?productid=16855&cat=275&page=1) [http://yoyoexpert.com/product/yoyofactory/g5/](http://yoyoexpert.com/product/yoyofactory/g5/) I was looking at maybe buying a G5 or Paul Kerbel Edition Skyline. Here is what I prefer: 1. I like any size yo-yo. 2. I prefer an H-Shape yo-yo. 3. I do like silicone response or anything not real responsive. 4. I do not like to mod my yo-yos. 5. I like any weight. 6. The color does matter. 7. I like to do fast, smooth, and slack tricks. 8. My price range is 130$ and below. 9. My skill level is advanced to expert. I used the guide Samad posted: [new yoyo - General Yo-Yo - YoYoExpert](http://yoyoexpert.com/forums/index.php?topic=4423.0) What do you guys think? ---

It will mosly depend on wether you like large sized yoyos or small yoyos, what is your current favorite? Do you like its size? ---

Skyline. The G5 won’t handle fast tricks as easily as the Skyline. ---

I mainly use a M1 for my regular tricks and my DM to practice Lacerations. I am leaning towards the Skyline anyway. ---

> [@Samad](#): > > Skyline. The G5 won’t handle fast tricks as easily as the Skyline. Well, Augie’s favorite yoyo is the G5+. He goes really fast, and I never see him using the Skyline, yeah, G5+ is a bit different from the G5, but as far as I know it is the same design. But acoording to this: > [@YoKid5000](#): > > I mainly use a M1 for my regular tricks and my DM to practice Lacerations. I am leaning towards the Skyline anyway. You would like smaller yoyos more, so I reccomend the Skyline for you. ---

But the Skyline was made for more speed and agility. Any yoyo can be fast, but Augie is a pro, so obviously he can make any yoyo go fast. ---

Samad is right. Based on a Yo-Yo’s specs, it can vary different levels. ``` -BUT- ``` A Yo-Yo can move fast or slow depending on the player. A fast player can have a really heavy Yo-Yo that is known for being slow, and he/she can beat the snots out of it goind 100 mph on The Matrix. And, a Yo-Yo can be really light, known for it’s speed, and have a slow player using a fast Yo-Yo. Everything depends on the player. The throw, the agility, the string landing, speed, etc. 🙂 ---
