I have a few truly responsive yoyos, snd I love the play style of 0a/responsive play. It really speaks to me. I have a few amazing purpose-designed bearing responsive that play very well ---

The 1st time I saw pictures of earlier renditions with the HDPE and caught wind of this release I could not wait. I have recently received my 1st Spin Worthy Wood throw, it is the smoothest wood I have. So I am sure this will be amazingly Spin Worthy. Thank you, please make more. ---

First ā€œseriousā€ fixie and Iā€™m already in love. A little smaller diameter than my other responsive yoyos, which are all 55-56 and I appreciate that difference.

To be fair, the one I have is a very early revision. To also be fair, I have not received a Spinworthy that I didnā€™t like, and only one I didnā€™t keep (spectraply blood cell, only sold to fund a larger purchase quickly). ---

You would basically say this is my first fixed axle, so perhaps my opinion is not very useful. The Survivalist is an excellent pattern and color. Seems to catch much better than Iā€™d expect even when its spin is dying. It feels good in my hand and the weight feels good, but dang does it hurt when I get whacked. I think it hurt more than full force throw that catches on a metal yoyo and hits my hand šŸ˜† . The size feels just right in the sense that the yoyo doesnā€™t feel small, yet still feels pretty convenient to casually throw and carry. Being on a mount doesnā€™t seem to kill the spin that bad. It doesnā€™t spin very long which was to be expected, but long enough I can get through something like kwyjibo, rewind, or a pop n fresh. Truthfully better than Iā€™d expect from a fixed axle, but of course it wasnā€™t going to compete against a decent bearing. ---

I absolutely love this yoyo. Completely changed my perception of fixed axel. I love it so much i actually had to buy a second as a back up when i heard Glenn was going to shut down for 2 years (he has since changed his mind and i think we will be able to place orders like before)ā€¦ not before i got a second Survivalist. I did notice this run is a bit smaller then the one which I got back in March. So far i donā€™t notice any other diffrent. I donā€™t have a scale here so i canā€™t compare that. Both play very similar, identical by my standard. Thought Iā€™d share the side by side if anyone is interested. My original one is on the right and the bottom of these pics. ![20211112_142403](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/7/0/9/709a73991c824a9f18e2e81273b7f80c38164e9f.jpeg) ![20211112_142344](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/6/9/e/69ed6ec610a29971a3ae0e1dd30528b82592d96c.jpeg) ![20211112_142328](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/b/3/7/b373201b4b2747b60664a14cd7b64f635e3c31d4.jpeg) ---

Well it all looks pretty positive so far, I was hoping more people I havenā€™t used my yoyos before might have given some thoughts, but itā€™s quite possible most of my customers arenā€™t forum members. ---

Now the only thing left to consider is to make more Survivalists, or UHMWPE and HDPE Bloodcells instead.
