Lookin into the alpha crash and it sounds to be one of the best plastics out there Refer to the thread below. Whats your opinion on it? > **[I've made a startling realization...](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/forums/index.php/topic,61852.0.html)** > > The YoYoRecreation Sleipnir and the C3 Alpha Crash play almost exactly the same. I’ve spent the past 2 hours throwing them back-to-back and have noticed only two differences regarding play. 1: The Sleipnir regens slightly better. 2: The Alpha... Also if someone can make a comparison between the alpha crash and the SOMETHING V It would be great,y appreciated. ---

Alpha crash plays like metal. Very solid and smooth. My favorite plastic i would keep it if i didnt need a 3a pair. ---

What plastics have u compared it with that it’s ur favorite? More solid than a f(x). Worse grinding. Heavier. Smoother than a classic and more solid. And more ill say later ---

This is my favorite plastic. I want to like others better because they look cooler or cost more (to justify something that I payed 25 dollars more for), but I just can’t. ---

Like the YYRs. Somebody told me the solution to it, and it was just to tune it via axle. But lol, I wouldn’t know honestly how, even thigh I know there’s a thread on it 😛 ---

I play the Alpha Crash all of the time. Mine sucks right now though because it has a (nearly) dead Center Trac in it… Luckily I found one of my gold bearings and it’s doing great. ---

The alpha crash is great for it’s price and i regret selling mine. It was a really fun throw that was capable of a lot of things. I was able to finger grind with it, but it doesn’t last long. I was also able to fingerspin with it, though it took a ridiculous amount of time to finally land it. ---

But I decided to just wait for the yeti. Wanna buy it?
