What’s your favorite counter weight

Yo we all like 5A right? So what is your personal go to CW? There’s no right answer and it’s all preference but what do you reach for most often. Also what’s a unique or special CW you have?

D20 CW by rain city

I really like the Duncan Rapid Ball. The most unique I have is Rain City’s Objet D’Art counterweight because you can change the weight.

Moth Ballz are on most of my yoyos

My favorite right now is the no city G.O.O.D

I have a chainmail counterweight (by dustin gunter) that I love because it doesn’t hurt at all. So pleasant.

I am really terrible at 5a. But I do have a small collection of counterweights. My faves are my DedHeds.

Mine is not really a counterweight per se. It’s a red yoyofactory top button ball. But it also works really well as a counterweight. Iykyk

My favourites are the Leather Jackets. Quiet, comfy, nice grip. The Mulga Cube on the right feels and plays great but is much louder than anything else (made from my percussion timber stockpile) and can easily dent aluminium.

Most unique is my squashed self portrait

The Leather Jackets and the textured burgers in the second pic (I’ll probably call them Slamburgers) I’m pretty sure are unique things only I make. If someone else has done these first I’d love to see.

Printing and testing new ones every week. Definitely my favs right now are barrel shape ~10gramm, with a higher infill rate in the tail and made of not too soft TPU ~85-90
