Can you be more specific about what is affordable to you? 30… 40… 50 bucks? Give a top price still considered workable for you.:thinking: ---

The Benchmark V shape is a good option. Some cheaper options you could look into are the C3 Railgun and the YYO Quash. ---

The Benchmarks are awesome. I don’t have a V, but I have an O and a W. Really high quality throws. Made in USA and everything. I really like my Duncan Echo 2. For $25 its outstanding. I know its kind of old, but its a nice V shape and it plays awesome.

Duncan Echo 2 is a smooth V shape. And for $50, you can add the Duncan Stryx that is similar. Both on sale here. Good Luck! Peace… - Woody ---

The Horizon is a V shape right? It probably plays differently from the others you have too. ---

Ive been eyeballing the 2016 benchmark V. I really like the shape. If I were you I I would make that happen. I had the 2014 V in the YYE colorway. It played great and looked amazing but I didn’t like the shape. I like a straight V shape. I only payed $45 for it mint so maybe you can find one of those if you have to stay under $50. ---

I always considered anything with a step on the catch zone like what is found on the Kilter 2 to be an H shape, but I could be wrong. I don’t know. It’s kind of a grey area for that one IMO. It could be considered an H I guess, but a very small one. Maybe a lower case h? 😃 [Next page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/whats-an-affordable-v-shape-yo/81929.md?page=2)
