This, right here. Look at @Markmontās videos. It seems most, if not all the yoyos he is using are organic, with OD 10 ball flat bearing. Granted, very few of us play like him, but, with enough skill almost any trick can be done on almost any unresponsive yoyo.
Now, when Iām learning the moves to a trick or messing around, trying to create, I will often go with an H or V shape. When I want to clean up the trick and make it flow, organic or responsive are my tools of choice.

Modern day crutch? Iām not sure what you mean by that, so I canāt agree thatās how I feel about organics.
I will say that while I generally prefer Hās and Vās at this stage in my play/development, I donāt really love any one particular shape way above all others. Some folks appear fixated on (I hesitate to say obsessed with, but maybe thatās not too far off) one shape, and when they are, most of the time that fixation seems to be on organics. I think thatās just weird. 
Hatrick is smaller, lighter, and slightly floatier, although I personally prefer the 5 star, both are great

Some folks appear fixated on the accumulation of gear and equipment over actually playing yoyo itself and when they are, most of the time the fixation seems to make them hold strong opinions on what type of bearing and shape is best as though it is fact over preference, I think thatās just weird.

I believe Iām part of this group.
But to me, collecting is a very big part of my love of this hobby.
Itās just another aspect of the hobby that I happen to get a lot of joy from.
I feel like you frown upon this, but I see nothing wrong with it personally.

Yesterday I was waiting on a sandwich at a Earth Fare and started yoyoing in line, someone in the back shouted āI still have my fireball!ā Props to that guy

From what Iāve been able to see and experience over the years, people end up getting fixated on organics because they are the most comfy in hand and have a certain distinct classic feeling of āfullā completion when jamming on organic vs a more varied shape.

How fades donāt line up.
Now I know itās probably not possibleā¦or if it is possible, itād be extremely difficultā¦
But manā¦itād be so much more pleasant to my eyes if they lined up!

I wondered what was going on. Iāve tried for months to find some specific side effects to go with my Deep States.

Have you tried rotating the axle. The threads might line things better if you rotate the axle. Literally lined up the engravings on my grasshoppert gtx when I did that
