The 2009 G5 pre pro was my first metal that i learned all my tricks that i can do now on and was wondering how many others did? Granted now my G5 is beaten to Hades and back…twice…and is still working for me (now it has some wobble that’s only noticeable when your spinning it slowly on the stacks) but i still keep it just cause it has special value in my heart. So my questions are, did anyone else start their metal collection with the 09 G5 and if not, what was your first metal?

Thanks for replying :D. I’m about to get a Metal Drifter, how do they play?..and whata you mean by “not there yet”…they are truly an amazing metal to have, anytime i want a yo-yo to practice on i go to that one cause it just has such long spins. i found(and am trading a superstar for) an 07 g5 on the forums here. ill tell you how it plays when i get it.

The G5 is sure an awesome yoyo, one of my long favorite.  
I have two, the early silver one and a 2010 edition.

in some ways… Yes.  
The 2010 G5 is an awesome yoyo, the most stable G5 to date I think. Feels a bit heavier tough.  
But I like my 2007 G5 better, it feel lighter and faster. Bit less stable though.

But I do like lighter throws.

If you considering about getting a G5, go for it. It would less likely disappoint you.

My first metal was actually a YYF Tactic.

G5’s are nice. I currently have a 2007 G5 555 edition, and I have to say, it’s my top 1 or 2 player. I love it
