I don’t have the avant garde 2. from what I’ve seen around here / talking to people is that it isn’t as good as the original ---

I have the original and I have played the new one. I personally prefer the original over the new avant garde. Dont get me wrong the new one is a really cool yoyo but not an everyday throw. The original is much more of an everyday throw ---

I love mine and it plays superb. its not the fastest but its stable. the 2 plays smooth long sleep time better throwhand grinds, if you were to get the 2 just save and get a cliff if you get the 1 get it make sure the price is good through
