@Exmime - Eye can’t imagine that being a practical counterweight, but it looks nice :wink: Ive gone for a more utilitarian approach to my 5A setup. Rocking the #6 YT-Vayder strung up with Markmont Cumulous Foam and a PoryKon counterweight. ![5a vayder - 01](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/a/c/2/ac2daf7709f2520bc42531a2f0f57a4e2923c07d.jpeg) ![5a vayder - 02](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/4/a/e/4aec3724c3df53f4e57af354bf51e8fb26479aa5.jpeg) ![5a vayder - 03](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/e/8/8/e88f5985bded950d6d1676e6fe1cc0ed8798eb04.jpeg) I think I also had this setup last year, but is definitely my favorite 5A config, even over my Hotdiggity. It is almost like this yoyo was built for 5A. Ive also been throwing my new Bettynova and 21’ OG specs Shutter. I am really impressed with both. The Bettynova came 10/10 smooth, and I mean it. I remember seeing a thread about people talking about the rare “perfect smooth” yoyo, and mine is one of those rare ones. Was not expecting that from YYF tbh, lol. Neat surprise. The yoyo has a nice flow that justifies its weight and is really powerful for long spin times. The Shutter was another huge surprise. Not because of vibe, because this one came like a normal YYF, but because it plays good. It plays like a yoyo in the sweet spot between ‘fun and competition’. I can understand why Gentry went on to make the WA version, but these specs are much nicer for us plebs. I need to revisit my Butter, but these play characteristics are why I prefer the Butter over the WA. ---
