1. What size do you prefer? full 2. What shape do you prefer? angular 3. What response do you prefer? silicone 4. Do you like to mod/maintain it? yes 5. What weight is ideal to you? 65g+ 6. Does color matter? no 7. How does your style relate to the yoyo? fast, arm, palm, finger grinds, slacks, whips, suicides, super technical, many strings in gap, 5A (stacks add+1 point for 5A) 8. What is your skill level? advance ---

well. 1 both are full 2 the g5 is angular 3 both come stock with kpads 4 both i guess 5 both g5 is heavier 6 both 7 G5 fits most, but the genesis is for 5a too 8 both well. heres my opinion. i have both yoyos (2010 G5 and genesis) and i like the genesis a little bit more. i really dont know why i just do. however for your preferences i would get the G5. hope this helped ---
