Look forward to hearing what they have to say. Iā€™m all 1Aā€™d out as far as purchasing new models goes, but like I said still searching for my ideal 5A throw.

Iā€™m also intrigued by 5A, but apart from choosing inexpensive yoyos (maybe/probably plastic) for the beginning stages of learning when the yoyos are likely to incur the most damage, I fail to grasp why any good performance-oriented 1A yoyo couldnā€™t also serve as an equally good 5A yoyo.

A lot of people swear that they can but my 5A preferences do not align with my 1A preferences. I donā€™t care all that much about tons of stability with 1A yo-yos and I like lighter yo-yos with more even weight distribution. For 5A I prefer stuff thatā€™s more mid than light weight with more rim weight and with a more organic cut in the body, and also stuff thatā€™s a little more narrow. I canā€™t stand v shapes for 5A.

Lots of people just say use whatever youā€™re comfortable with for 1A. I donā€™t think that works because youā€™re not doing the same stuff.
