what yo-yo would you use for counter-weight play out of these: Misquito (maybe too responsive), Fireball (Sounds reasonable), Lyn Fury (maybe a bit too unresponsive). Thank you. ---

Personally, I would go with a lyn fury. but you can use any yoyo (metal zero) for 5a ---

Mosquitoes are so, so, so light. Almost unplayable for me, I would recommend a Squirrel if you want to go that route. They have almost the exact same specs but are twenty grams heavier, which is perfect. ---

Some Duncan Yo-yos are made specially for counter-weight play. I think the Metal Zero comes with a counter-weight assuming you have one due to your sig. I use the PGM because of the size but that’s my opinion so take a look at the Duncan selection and see if any of them suit you. ---

I think almost any yoyo can work. That being said, some are specially designed. The low endish ones have been listed, but if you’re rich… Genesis 888 ---

Funny story about my metAl zero. I first had a mosquito but quicky grew out of it. I then bought a metal zero which did greatly increase my skills but it eventually threaded. I asked the forum what to do and it eventually ended up me sending my yoyo in to itchus. It was unrepairable but was generously replaced by. Him with a Lyn fury two fireballs and an agape and I couldt be more thankful ps sorry for punctuation this was on my bros iPod lol ---

> [@tyler3490](#): > > lyn fury most definitely Exactly! I use mine for 5A only, its a great little yoyo for it and it won’t break the bank. In the end, its all about what you like, but out of the choices listed, I would say the Lyn. ---

Wasn’t the lyn fury used to win a title in 5A? ---

I used to use my Lyn Fury all the time for 5A. Takeshi Matsuura won the 5A world title with one in '08. 🙂 If it’s too unresponsive, try adding a little oil to the bearing, or getting familiar with the “bind” maneuver. Setting up your yoyos for binding will allow also them to spin longer.
