I’m looking for a cheap 1A and 5A throw. I don’t mind paying for upgrades so that isn’t a factor. Please explain the advantages and disadvantages of both and tell which yoyo you think is superior in play. Thanks, Thomas ---

I enjoyed both, but the extra weight of the Surge and the size makes it a spin monster. It’s pretty good for 5A, but won’t recommend it for responsive play. It hurts when it comes back in the face. Plus there are tons of colors. ---

It hurts when it comes back in the face. Plus there are tons of colors. So does any other yoyo lol Anyway, I would also recommend the Surge. I’ve played and have had both throws, and I found the Surge to be better performing. Both are throws that can take whatever you throw at them, but I have found the Surge to be able to last longer in combos and over all plays better. ---

I’ve never tried a surge but a Classic is amazing so if the surge is better, it’s better than amazing.
