> [@yoyoer4lifeluke2013](#): > > gnarwal Out of those three, I agree with him. But for around the sane price you can get something sooooo much better! Like a summit, chief, arctic circle, etc. I’d recommend the summit. for some reason, I absolutely hated the avalanche… So think about it, cuz you might waste money on a yoyo you hate… ---

Avalanche. I’ve tried many, many things and I still believe this to be one of the most well-rounded yoyos (no pun, sorry) you can buy. I like the Cascade and the Gnarwal, but neither would be one of the last in my case if I were liquidating. The Avalanche likely would. ---

If your price range is $160-$170 get a YYR. They are known for the best playing throws out there. Even though they don’t have the all mighty Sleipnir, the Gleipnir is still great from what I heard. If you want a smaller throw they have the Messiah, also maybe you enjoy larger throws they have the Overdrive all great throws in your price range! I have not actually tried a YYR, but I’m ordering a Gleipnir very soon. ---

Avalanche for sure, of the three. I do not enjoy the Cascade or Gnarwhal nearly as much. The Cascade grew on me a bit, but that Gnarwhal…is just not for me at all. I agree with those who recommend the Summit for you. You will have an Avalanche/Cascade hybrid in the Summit. I like the Summit more than the Avalanche too. ---

yyr only cost $75 w/ $13 shipping for a six, old (I believe delrin) aeronaut, messiah, dreadnought, or z-on, or about $30 + shipping for a diffusion or the new aeronaut. No disrespect intended, but yye is a bit overpriced on them. ---

I can only compare the Gnarwhal and Avalanche. Gnarwhal is a pretty fun small yoyo (not tiny, just compact) but it’s just that… a “fun” throw. The spin time and stability is what you would expect from a smaller yoyo, but that’s about it. The Avalanche is a wonderful yoyo. As mentioned, extremely well rounded. Everything you need it to do, it does. As a bonus, it has a significantly different feel compared to the Chief you already own. Not as significantly different as the Gnarwhal (which is in a whole other category), but trust me, you will not mistake one for the other. :wink: If it gets narrowed down to those two, I’d recommend the Avalanche. ---

> [@Blazvatan](#): > > I already have a chief so I’m leanings toward the gnarwal or summit Summit FOR SURE! Don’t even think about the f-Ing avalanche, cuz the summit is the baby if the avalanche, and the father is the cascade. Its amazing, + you get side effects. ---

YYE YYR Overdrive is a good deal at $165. Splashed YYRs are usually 18,900Y, which is over $190 these days, so it’s priced really well. Looks amazing, and guarantee you’ve never played anything like it. [http://shop.yoyoexpert.com/product/965/yoyorec-Overdrive](http://shop.yoyoexpert.com/product/965/yoyorec-Overdrive) ---
