He/she probably didn’t know there was another thread. I like the Ultra Light ones.

Whatever is stock in the yoyo works best for me.

I do like having a Code 2 set up with disc side effects though. I keep one that way, the other kept stock.

Side Effects for me are much less esthetic, and much more for the addition or subtraction of weight to a particular YoYo. The favorite Side Effect for me is the one that would create the best weight for the throwing experience I’m trying to create.

I can agree. It was black code 1 side effects until I found the brass spikes and they are perfect in every way.

For now, spikes all day long!

But I’d be totally willing to try weight variations. I mean, I don’t think it’s worth it given the choice between spikes and domes. 3.2g vs. 3.0g? Not worth your effort. But when you’re talking 7g vs. 3.2 g, that’s significant. Alas, I don’t have any ultralights, brass side effects, or discs to try for properly testing the weight thing.

I am a huge Ultra Light fan. I like more weight away from the center and on the rim. As for looks the UL’s just have that classic One Drop look from the M1-Y Factor era (when I began collecting)

I only have domes on one yoyo and that is the 54 Al Domes. And Dietz SE’s on my Dietz. I tried all of the SE options on the Dietz and for some reason they are a match made for eachother.

My main SE yoyos that I throw and the Summit, CODE2 and Cascade all yoyos that in my opinion play best with UL’s (I prefer a yoyo not going over 67 grams)
