I’ve only tried the Raptor and Metropolis. I wanted to like the Metropolis, but it felt a little light. I like the Raptor for 1A and 5A more. (but then again, I stink at 5A). ---

Well, the new FHZ Pulse(the LED one) comes with a light-up counterweight, so I would think right there they are saying “hey, this is a 5A throw”. Best? I can’t say for sure. Only the users can say what they like the best. I have one, but I’m not ready for 5A yet, so it will be a 1A throw for a while. ---

Hands down. Raptor. For 1a and 5a. The new pad recessed FH2’s and FHZ’s are pretty sweet as well. But I’d take a Raptor over them anyday. ---

Dude you’ll be impressed. I wish I still had mine…don’t know why I traded it off…it was powdercoated to. With caps they run a bit heavy…I love heavier throws (67-69) but found the Raptor to be a little uncomfortable with both caps in. Without them it’s a perfect weight and soo smooth. Although the edges can hurt some times. ---

I love my Raptor so much I even dressed up as it for Halloween! Dont get me wrong, my Metropolis is a massively sweet throw, but the Rap’ is much more versatile. Its also shiny. That’s extra points! And yes, that is an IKEA kids table. I am with 3 of my 4 kids in the pic too! ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/c/9/d/c9dd9945ceefb2a5851cfc1e4c82fb32f0c792d6.jpeg) ---
