Do you have mid- or full-sized yoyos you’re happy with? Do you have something that you consider to be a monster of stability with a touch of float an zip to it? Then you might have the Chief’s bases covered and it’ll be a different version of what you might already have. If not; if you are still questing… a Chief is a must-try, whether you buy it or borrow it. :wink: However, if you’ve played a lot of yoyos, have some solid favourites, and are looking for something “different”, the H5xChief is for you. It is a VERY LARGE (in diameter) yoyo and has a unique feel in the hand as a result. It comes gracefully to the end of the string with a powerful spin, and is an absolutely amazing and stable yoyo to play across the strings. But that’s just it: it’s different. It’s something you should really try if you’re looking to break convention. But if you’re still trying to figure out what “convention” is, it’s gotta be the Chief for you. ---

Like GregP said he H5xChief is big, way bigger in diameter than a Chief. I have both and like them quite a bit. the H5xChief feels lighter to me on the string and has a different finish. I love how floaty it feels. I don’t throw it everyday like I do the Chief. For me it’s like the Summit collaboration, two different throws combined, creating a new very different throw. I played an H5 and it was fun, but I liked the mix of Chief bits! Almost like if the H5 and Chief had a love child… Boom. ---

Like Dankdeadzombie says, it feels REALLY floaty. I am going to sacrifice a bit of my masculinity and describe it as “delightful”. :wink: To me a bit part of “floaty” feel has to do with how a yoyo hits the end of the string. This sets up your mindset for the entire session. And it comes so nicely to the end of a string that you just know you’re in for a chill bit of throwing! ---

Completely different beasts. Look at the specs, what you’re after in a yoyo will dictate which one you want. ---

I would get the Chief first and if later you still want the H5 x Chief get it. The resale on the Chief is way higher and if you don’t like it trading/selling it would yield more than the other. Both are great throws. ---

Anglam costs nearly twice as much, so… yeah… you can always buy the Chief later. :wink: ---
