HELP! What to get as my first new One Drop?

Ola everyone! Hoping for a few opinions to help me make my mind up! Looking at the following OD’s as my first upon returning to yoyos!

1 - Rainier

2 - Summit2

3 - Crucible

Any feedback/ opinions will be very appreciated, really can’t decide as all 3 seem to be very popular. Can’t afford any more throw choice mistakes at the moment, already got 2 I loathe! HELP​:exploding_head::exploding_head::exploding_head::smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

I’d say the Crucible would have to be the winner here. It is much more expensive than the other 2 though, so maybe go for a Rainier if cost is a concern.

All three are really good. Rainer is my favorite, the Summit 2 feels smaller, more compact but ive been reaching for it a lot. One of the best. Arguably Crucible may be best performing but has a larger diameter and that’s why I personally don’t play with it as often. You can’t go wrong with any three, your personal preferences will eventually decide if you had all three to play

Summit 2 is probably the safest choice, but Crucible is my favorite of the three.

Thanks to my first 3 answers from Zxin, Karina & HSB. Got a chance at all 3 on the BST, off to rob a bank for all 3​:rofl::rofl::rofl:! Hope that’s not going to get me in trouble…

What are you used to playing? How long have you been out of the game? What do you remember liking best? I’ve got all 3 and while they are somewhat similar, they do have their own personalities.

of the 3 I think Summit 2 is the best all-arounder.

me, I like the old school feel so Intro is one of my favorites too. Obviously very diff than these. GL!! You can’t wrong with any of them.

Thanks Josh, I’ve been back for about 3 months, out for years and years - hand surgeries :sob:! As for throws - Shutter WA & Starlight are my faves so far. Loved my old Cascade, YYF Genesis(OG) and had an X3 Stampede that was an absolute beast! Decisions, decisions :exploding_head:

Rainier is Cascade’s descendant. I like mine quite a bit; one of the SE systems more impactful models. I feel quite a tangible difference in playfeel and agility when I swap them out and I love it for that. There’s a good looking one on BST rn if you decide on it

Cool, learned something else I missed in my absence. Properly tempted by all of them obviously… Damn this yoyo temptation :grin::grin:

The boosted rainier has been the one I pick up the most!
