How does RPM affect a yoyo?

I need help understanding how yoyo RPM affects how a yoyo plays because I’m trying to decide on a C size or D size bearing for the Mod44. All of the results I got on google were just if it spins faster then there will be weight forced outward, but I don’t know how that affects the play. I do not have any D size bearing yoyos, so any help will be appreciated.

It’ll give more stability at the higher RPMs (aka when you first throw it) but as it slows down it’ll continue to get less and less stable.

Higher RPM means that the yoyo will be theoretically more stable (weight forced outward), it also makes binds tighter when you have that higher RPM, but as @hobbygod said it will run out of spin slightly faster than C bearing, and become less stable over time. From a preference standpoint I find that D bearing yoyos are great if you don’t like doing long tricks and instead find yourself throwing the yoyo pretty often.
