I’m trying to decide between these two yoyos. The price doesn’t really matter to me, although that $30 savings would be nice. Really, it comes down to playability and fingerspins. I’ve used the Elysian but I’ve never used the L5, and I’m not sure which I want to buy. Opinions? ---

shape of the Elysian is very appealing to me. Ive played my friends’ L5, and it wasn’t anything unique to me. I cant fingerspin if Its not on my z-stacked G5, so I dont know what to tell you on that one. ---

The Elysian is most likely better I’ve heard the bearing and pads are pretty crumby on the L5 where as the Elysian has a pretty nice bearing. Also for finger spins you should keep your finger quite limp and not strong and straight: helps a lot ---

Sorry if it came off as if I didn’t xD Mostly just looking to see which one is better for fingerspins. The THEORY also seems to be a viable option, what with it winning the fingerspin contest by like 3 minutes. ---

The theory is nice if you just want to do long fingerspins but not really practical for fingerspin tricks ---

Im almost certain Elysian hops easier than L5 due to its smoothly curved cup. ---
