Hello, I’ve been looking around for the past week for my first competition-level yoyo. Based on my preferences, I’ve narrowed it down to these two yoyos: OD Benchmark V and C3 Level 6. From what I’ve seen, these both are very good quality yoyos that will be able to preform well for a long time. For any owners of either (or both) of these yoyos, what makes you prefer yours over the other? ---

Both are top notch in their price range. Honestly you’d be safe getting whichever one you like better. They’re all really nice. (I would go with the Benchmark V because of USA made and Side effects though, but that’s just my opinion) :wink: ---

I would go for level 6, because it is very solid, fast, and can handle aggressive plays no problem. I also have a OD Benchmark H.
