I would diversify. There is no point to 5 Northstars. Or 4 Northstars for that matter. But if you are really set on that purchase, I would go for 4 Northstars and a Starlight. ---

Aaah. 4 Northstars and a Starlite. There’s more of a variety that way. And don’t you feel too bored? Like many yoyo’s can do 3A, 1A and 5A well too. ---

if you really and to do 1a, 3a, and 5a, you should only get 2 northstars or starlites, their is no point of buying a yoyo for each different style. also try(oyo is right, your price tag is gonna be roughly $160 for 4 norths and 1 lite, 5 norths are gonna be about $176ish i would get a new metal, or the new C3 design halo is out, c3buddha highly reccommends it, and the best part is that it is a delrin. if your willing to wait, I hung out with hank freeman(2009-2010 national 3a champion) and he said that the freebird 2 will be comming out soon, i played one in person, i personally think it will be an excellent 3a yoyo. the only thing i want to give away is that it will have a large bearing intstead of small, but that’s it, nothing more let me break it down for you: unlike metals or plastics delrins have a special property that is called self lubrication which basically means the nics and scratches will slowly disappear. I plan on getting a pair of delrins for 3a, and the halo is only $60 which means two halos will still be less than your cluster of stars, this is what i this you should do man, ---

you can use the same throw you do for 1a as you do for 3a, and 5a. sometimes even for 4a. So just go with 2 north stars, maybe 2 loopers, and something big for offstring, and you’re good to go with all 5 styles 🙂 ---

Tbh, you only need 2 of the same yoyos. I say get two yoyos that cost around 60-80dollars each so you can do all three styles you mentioned ---

well you really only need 2 northstars but you might need a back up or 2. so i would recommend getting 3 or 4 northstars. and maybe a metal yoyo for 1A starlites are pretty cool also but i wouldn’t recommend them for competition ---

all are good yoyos so its up to you now. i like northstars more than protostar though 🙂 starlites are impressive cause the glow in the dark amazes people, especially if you get glowing string 🙂 ---
