> [@Zort\_Commander](#): > > So here are a few more. I played all of these at the throwdown and when I placed, (I almost didn’t go up there. Anxiety stinks.) I had a choice of paying for half of a yoyo thanks to my parents. I ended up getting the Summit because of my preferences. Here we go! (However, this will include some strings, too!) > > 1st off- MFD APE-X So, I fell in love with that thing. It was a wonderful throw. However, it spun out after 15-20 seconds, that might just be my throw, or I didn’t drink my milk, but y’know. > > 2nd- SPEED-A-HOLIC It was very nice and would’ve been a nice add-on with the Summit. I could’ve gotten it, but just wasn’t there for me. I like the shape, but it was a little mid sized, which I’m fine with, but it didn’t suit the shape and plastic to me. Call me crazy, but it was just one big meh. > > 3rd and final- GLIDE I’m sort of on the fence about this one, I’m in the middle of switching my preferences. It seemed a little heavy to me. I like the shape, and everything else, but it wasn’t terribly floaty, and I was looking for a yoyo that could float like there’s no tomorrow! That’s not the glide. > > For stings > > More type-x > I could get a huge amount of kitty string for about the same amount of money of getting two packs of it. > I just didn’t find it worth it. > > Well, that’s all of them. I will probably still add on to it however Hmmm…I haven’t ever really “passed” on the Glide myself, maybe just temporarily. It’s always sort of remained on the back burner. I think other throws have just come along one at a time that seemed to interest me a bit more. I actually like the weight and shape of it, so it’s one that I should definitely have. I just never felt like it was a big rush to get a certain color that I saw, so I feel like I can always find one. I will definitely get one this year. The thing with me, is that I don’t buy “new releases” all that often, unless there is concern about getting a specific color. I tend to buy things after they have been out a little while. Update: Passing on the LP. I can practice looping with the stuff I already have, and don’t have the same dedication to learning 2A. I mess around with it when I can. I’m slowing down on buying plastics anyway, especially a 2A plastic. I am most interested in a nice 1A plastic/Delrin anyway. The NorthStar is my favorite, so I won’t need much more outside of that. I have a Loop 900, Reverbs, and a pair of Loop 1080s, so I’m good with that. ---

Well, I remember loving the yoyo when I went to a toy shop in New Jersey. I also remember I got 4 million Amazon gift cards for Christmas. It’s on sale for 70 dollars, too. By the way, I passed on the glide because it wasn’t really what I was looking for at the moment. I actually have it in my cart right now! :wink: [Previous page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/releases-you-passed-on-reasons-why/63542.md?page=3)
