The G5 is an aluminium, “H” shaped, derlin hubstacked yo-yo first released on 2006. It’s about 66g, 56mm diameter and 37mm wide. The original versions had Dorothy bearings and .555 dif pads. Story and thoughts below. First, the photos (or a slideshow if you want).

Came with a simple cardbox with a sticker on the outside, a string, and that’s it. After a good cleaning (you can see on the photos that was a little dirty) I have to say that it plays really smooth and stable. Had to lube the bearing to fix the noise and low spin time. Now it’s a dream. I love this kind of shape it fits the hand like a glove. I have a Superstar that I like very much, but the G5 became my favorite. Can you please help me identify the release year of this one? Hope you like this unboxing and quick thoughts. 8) nunyx ---
