Maybe I had one too many beers tonight, but I decided to stop waffling and just go for it… Ended up going with the Kuntosh 5KQV. The others are on the shortlist for next time. ---

haha awesome man! Seriously…it’s hard to go wrong with the 3 you were deciding between! The Kuntosh is really powerful and stable and will be a beast of a yo-yo to learn with! Can’t wait for you to get it!! What color did you go with? 😃 ---

Thanks! Definitely looking forward to getting it. I do agree that any discussed would have been fine choices. I went with the color that I picture in my head when I think of the Lamborghini Kuntosh. Will post in a few days :wink: ---

Ha! Did cross my mind as I wrote that yesterday. And thanks! It already shipped, so I’ll be anxiously checking the tracking until I gets here even though I know it won’t be until Friday-ish (yay, shipping from next state over). ---

I don’t think you’ll be disappointed with the Kuntosh; it’s a great throw. I like my Top Deck a bit more, prolly because I can do finger spins on it(edit:just tried and did finger spins on Kuntosh just fine). The Top Deck is just such a great all around throw and so incredibly stable. When I was at your level, I found it to be incredibly helpful when learning new tricks, so much so that I nicknamed it Wife. It’s great looking, solid, dependable and doesn’t let you down. That being said, the Kuntosh is a great throw, and side effects are practical yet fun. I’m surprised a monometal can have so much power! It’s a blast. Enjoy! ---

Yeah, it was between Top Deck, Sugar Glider, and the Kuntosh at the end. It ultimately came down to me going through each one in my cart and deciding which one I REALLY wanted to own and throw. Sugar Glider and Top Deck are the at the top of the short list for the next purchase, which will likely be sooner than I plan :wink: I appreciate everyone putting these throws on my radar. The Kuntosh was my top candidate going in and I wasn’t aware of the high regard the Top Deck especially is held in. Now I do! ---

Another thing I like about the Kuntosh over the Sugar Glider and Top Deck…is that the Kuntosh uses side effects so that in the future you can change a bit of the way the yo plays, and how it looks! I love side effects! 😃 ---

I put ultra-lites in all my One Drops, except for my Parlays in which I like to put spikes. Mostly this is to put as little weight around the axle as possible. ---

The most ridiculous thing I’ve done with side effects is put brass code 1’s in my 1To1. It actually kind of like it that way. ---
