I’ve been wanting to get in to 5a for a while, and since the Rapid is used by Jake Elliot I assume the rapid light would be just as good. Now I know your gonna say any yoyo will work for 5a but I was gonna buy a yoyo anyway. So should I get a rapid light or something else my maximum price is 100$ but I would prefer something around 85$.
Looks really promising. I’d also look into the Torque, which is hands down one of my favorite yoyos (and I own tons of high-ends).
Also, the benchmarks might be a good choice with the side effects system, since you’re bound to drop the yoyo a bunch in 5a and possibly (after a verrry hard fall(s) ) damage the axle.
I’d research the turning point shake, looks pretty great, and designed for 5a and 1a. And its only 85$
In my experience a bit heavier yoyos work better for 5A, so i´d guess the light might be a little less fit for 5A? might just be my preference though 
The ‘light’ in rapid light actually just refers to the lack of weight rings. The weight of the yoyo is only 0.1g less than the Rapid. I of course fully recommend the Rapid Light, but I’m excessivly biased, so don’t listen to a word I say 
One of the best budget metals
