Yoyo shape vs weight

Recently I’ve been looking at yoyo(s) and using 65g as an expectable weight. But when I compare the yoyo(s) I have it seems that the shape plays a tremendous role in how the yoyo feels. Anybody have any thoughts on which yoyo shapes feel lighter?

I think V shapes tend to feel light and fast.

So the shutter is V and the wedge, which weighs out heavier on some websites is W. But if you compare them the wedge floats and the lighter shutter feels a bit heavier…

I think the Shutter is considered an H? At least I think Gentry does. I could be wrong tho.

Weight distribution plays a big part in how the yoyo feels on string too. More rim weight makes the yoyo feels heavier in most cases.

That weird my non-scientific guess is exactly the opposite… Maybe I’m asking the wrong question. Maybe I should just be asking people what their speed yoyo(s) are…
