Well, I think the ES plays more “generic” than the OG, but I still enjoy both of them. Neither one is a go to though, so take that for what it is. The ES feels more compact and, may I say it, generic. For the price point a great $50 yoyo, but not nearly as good as what the hype does/used to command. Rarity drives the hype more than performance imo. ---

Ouch. 😓 How many OG Cadences were actually made? While it doesnt perform as well, I think I like that one better just for the feel. Both are fun, but they seem like a bridge from fun to performance (OG more fun, ES more performance), but neither one seems absolute performance geared to my hands. I like the yoyo(s), but hard to blanket recommend personally if im being honest (am). ---

Yeah but I think most of the ones I’ve tried are too wide. That shape imdoes lens to rim weight but there are better shapes for that which allow the yo-yo to be stable AND more compact ---

Maybe you just don’t like wide yoyos? I see the bell shape as a sort of evolution of the V shape. I like some but not others. ---

This is how I see it too. It is like a V/H hybrid with more rim weight and an even easier catch zone. Ideal for competition style play. @moby323 - what would you consider to be a better shape then? ---

The people who know me know I believe in two things, right? And then three more things. Occasionally, an additional thing. For an approximate total of 6 things. You know what? Let’s just say that I believe in more than 4 but less than 8 things. The first thing I believe in is freedom, OK? It’s who I am, it’s what I do, it’s how I live. The second thing I believe in is Kabbalah Jewish Mysticism and the third thing is that the NBA season should be shortened from 82 games to 70 but the _fourth_ thing (and sometimes the fifth thing) I believe in is that the ultimate yoyo shape is a combination of a hard V and a step round. It’s just how I was raised, I guess. ---

If you’re doing a lot of tech and bouncing between strings and in and out of complicated mounts, I would think a more compact yoyo might be preferable.
