What are the effects of a SB yoyo instead of a LB yoyo?

How do small bearings change in play from large bearings, ive been thinkin about getting a Bassalope, and im not sure if i should get the SB or LB version, and i just wanted to know how the play would be different.

I have a small bearing bassalope. That issue CAN be(but isn’t always) that with a small bearing a larger response surface area, the yoyo can be more grabby and want to come back. But, I don’t have this issue with my SB Bassalope. My Beysick, with it’s D-sized bearing, has this problem with ME. But I think some of that has to do with my throw often being a little crooked. I place the blame more on my technique rather than the yoyo. This one constantly comes back when I don’t want it to.

There have been times where I have picked up a yoyo and not been able to tell, simply because I didn’t notice. But the physics junkies here can explain more things, like faster spinning and whatnot.

Get the large IMO.
Past experiences with A-Sized bearing’s don’t usually turn out too well.
I’ve never tried a SB Bassalope but IMO get the large.
If you like C-Sized Yoyo’s [Standard these days] Get em.
If you like the Duncan FHZ Bearing get the SB.
