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​🤯🤯🤯😎 ---

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​🤣🤣🤣! 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 😭! 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 🤯 ---

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 😁😁 ---

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