If spin time and stability are ALL you’re looking for (even though those are dependent on the throw) then the Genesis won’t disappoint. I can’t attest for the Y Factor but I assume it’s quite similar in those areas. However the two are vastly different. What are your preferences? ---

Yeah, if you like big yoyos, then get the Genesis. If you like smaller ones, get the y-factor. ---

> [@ItzChris](#): > > y factor is good for 5a .genesis is better for 1a Its good for both styles but seriously? Better for 1A? It has taken Nationals 5A two years in a row and was designed for/by Migguel Correa who took those titles. To answer the question, I love my Genesis and I don’t think I know anyone to complain about anything but the size. They are two completely different yoyos. Everything yoyo-related is pretty much preference. ---

i own a Genesis, but i don’t like the way it throws. it throws like a 5A, which is good for 5A players, but i like the throw of a 1A better. so i’m trying to get a skyline or other yoyo. any suggestions? if you are interested in buying my Genesis, here it is: [http://cgi.ebay.com/Genesis-YoYo-w-One-Drop-10-ball-bearing-counterweights-/300519546699?pt=LH\_DefaultDomain\_0&hash=item45f85c5f4b#ht\_500wt\_1156](http://cgi.ebay.com/Genesis-YoYo-w-One-Drop-10-ball-bearing-counterweights-/300519546699?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item45f85c5f4b#ht_500wt_1156)
