After years of being asked, we are finally excited to bring you the first 5A Astro set of Dedweights. Weighing in at approximately 10g, this double counterweight setup is an absolute blast to session with and will have you doing tricks you never thought possible. If you’re familiar with this style of play, we’ve engineered these to have one of the smoothest profiles for astro play, and we reckon these will be your favorite double 5a counterweights to play!

Still only using my dedweight pro for 5a, despite my numerous gummy weights and few porykon. The weight and momentum justfeels right to me.
might smack my knuckles a tiny bit harder than some of them, but that’s just a sign I need to yo-yo better.

I’m by no means a 5a pro but I agree, it is for sure my favorite counterweight

Doc Pop had recently shared this with me and I wanted to re-share it here because it is such a great intro and overview on the style of Astro play, as well as some awesome fundamental tricks to start out with.
I wish I would of seen this when I first got into Astro style, because this really helps break down the style and flow of astro play, without making it as complicated as some people make it out to be. If you haven’t had a chance to watch this yet, please do! It will definitely help make learning this play style so much easier!
