Would a pair of OneStars be good for 3A? Would you recommend this over a pair of Gem Series PSGs? For 3A I could do Velvet Rolls and Blue Line Mount only right now \>.\< I want to learn more and get into advanced 3A 😃 P.S. If you can get a video of OneStars or Gem Series PSGs being used for 3A please post it 😃 ---

onestars? Don’t bother. the light weight makes it terrible for 3a. I’ve tried. Its a shame! I’d say go for Surges, or upgraded classics. The Psgs are more or less mediocre. ---

I feel that in 3A you should have something really heavy. Maybe look at the Counter Attack. Surge would work perfect though. ---

If it’s too heavy, you tire out easily. You need to make sure it has a hefty spin. Otherwise, 3a will be near impossible. Surges would work wonders indeed. the counter attack is too highwalled for 3A. ---

If you can get a video of OneStars or Gem Series PSGs being used for 3A please post it 😃 I would say a pair of PSG’s, preferably a pair PSG GEMs would be ideal. I feel the OneStar is just too light. Other cost-effective models would be upgraded Classics, YYJ Surge and maybe even the Alpha Crash. Even though I lean heavily towards YYJ for a lot of my recommendations, I am actually gonna stand firm on the PSG Gem as my recommendation. I am probably going to get a PSG and PSG GEm soon, as I already have one of each. I need pairs of these. Otherwise, I’d say step up to the Chaser, Protostar, Northstar, Speeder 2, or DM2 as some choices. I think the DM2 would kind of be not quite as ideal as far as the shape, but could be done. ---

PSG definitely it so much better than the onestar and cheaper too. ---

But, The Counter attack is much slower than the surge, and is high walled. Not as stable 🙂 ---

K guys Im gonna get a pair of PSGs, when ill get better will probably get a pair of either YYJ Chasers, YYF Protostars, God Tricks Cyclones, or maybe a pair of Yoyofficer Auras, or some other metals 😃 (Most likely the Chasers and Auras cuz they’re pretty good for 1A too :D) ---

You’re right, the surge IS better, but I thought the counter attack was stable I guess ---

In fact I have two pairs (one for practicing/learning and one for performance). ---

> [@Rixtify](#): > > Nevermind ill get Chasers instead a pair of Gem series psgs 😛 OK. I still think the PSG Gem series would be the better choice though.
