What's your favorite counterweight? What do you look for in a counterweight?

Do you prefer bigger or smaller counterweights? Lighter or heavier? Any favorite shape? Whatcha got? :grin:

I always use the Steve with glasses casino die.
Bouncy balls a close second.

I do mostly 1a so I would look for a grooved counterweight that is interchangeable and doesn’t require a bead lock. Although a more serious counterweight would include a ball bearing that adjusts string tension. However, 5a isn’t my cup of tea. I prefer delrin counterweight myself. The Duncan rapid ball is a good choice. Dice are harder and hits hurt more.

I like the Duncan Candy Dice the most. Super easy to use since it already has the string groove so no threading required when putting the string on. I can play 1A then switch to 5A no problem

I’ve seen folks pickup random stuff and make them cw. Really anything can be a cw with a bit of imagination.

I keep coming back to the Unknown, it’s design with [Lock and Key] Technology is just so easy to put on, take off, change strings and/ or yoyos.

My next YYE order might need to include one of those I think.

I really like 3D printed stuff PLA texture just feels nice in the hand to me. I’m loving my layer infinity monster ball and I imagine I would really like the infinity weights.
