> [@andy569](#): > > One Drop hasn’t really ever considered doing anything outside of 1a yoyos. I’m pretty sure they haven’t even made a yoyo with 3a or 5a in mind yet. What exactly makes a 5A yo-yo different from a 1A yo-yo? ---

> [@saintrobyn](#): > > What exactly makes a 5A yo-yo different from a 1A yo-yo? I’m no expert in this area but I just meant some yoyos are just specifically designed for 3a or 5a as opposed to 1a. When I think of the best 1a yoyos I think extreme rim weight. I don’t think rim weight is as important for 5a yoyos, average weight of 65-67g is more important than in 1a, maybe a rounded multi-step V-shape? I’m pretty sure there’s more that goes into it but like I said I’m no expert. I didn’t really mean 5a yoyos are different than 1a yoyos, I just think designs can be made to be more 5a-oriented. ---

I’m just curious. I know there are features that tend to make some yo-yos more 3A friendly but as far as I know any 1A yo-yo can easily be used for 5A play. ---

Benchmarks traditionally come out in December. 2016’s were early birds I guess; that said: Any plans to machine any more Projects or fade throws anytime soon? P.S.
