Deciding to get either a Puffin or a Summit based on Many things. Just want a fun yoyo. I was originally going to go with the Puffin because i knew i would like it. But now im looking at The summit. Is the Puffin worth it over the Summit? The summit is a lot cheaper and i know a lot of people havent used one but if there is anyone who has used a summit could i have your opinion. Is the Puffin comfortable in the hand? and is it as fun as people say it is or is it just a great competition yoyo? Also this next question is for people of have owned both. If you were to get a second of one of these yoyos, which would it be? Just looking for opinons Big thanks to anyone who can help. ``` -Nick ``` ---

Bvm2 Marmot H5xChief Cliff. Glacier express These seem most fun to me! ---

Avalanche is one I’m always going back to if not chief. Glacier Express is really nice as well, similar to the Cliff, but a little more comfy in hand from a slightly smaller shape and smoother edges in my opinion. ---

I’ve got to say that from a pure ‘fun’ point of view then I don’t think you should look any further than the Canvas. It’s a bit of a polarizing throw, and it isn’t considered their best player but it’s the throw I pick up the most because it just makes me smile. ---

Super Fun. Super chill But has the power to be very comp and very versatile for sure. Ditto cliff! ---

I like the Puffin but I love the Avalanche in either version. Puffin is safe as the BST is more even on value used and new unlike the Avalanche which takes a hit (depending on colorway it seems). I would buy three Avalanches over a second Puffin, if that clears things up. ---

Both. Get both. They’re both super fun. Though I’d get an ‘OG’ Avalanche first. IMO they play better than CBs. ---

I just LOVE them both!!! The Avalanche is close with the Chief as my all time fav CLYW… It is such a good all around throw… The Puffin as well is a blast to play!!! I would say that the Avalanche out plays the Puffin (stability, spintime) but you want fun… Either one will do. ---

Both play similar. The summit is a touch faster And a bit more comp based More stable I’d say The puffin is more fun. Fun fun And better for grinds and the like. ---

Summit plays heavier than puffin! Id say the puffin is more fun and floaty overall. Other fun throws: avalanche, cliff, chief, glacier, and gnarwhall ---

Just putting this out there, I love that you are updating this thread, not making a new one. Keeps everything a lot less cluttered. Kudos to you. I would pick Summit if you are not as experienced, becuase it is more geared to competition, and therefore a lot stabler. The pufffin is more “fun” but it is rather annoying if you are not an experienced yoyoer, as it does not perform as well as a lot of other Yoyos.
