I have a kind of speedy play style I guess, and want to learn horizontal. I am also learning more tightly complicated tricks. Okay, have a Positron coming. I need something smaller than the Sleipnir, but just as awesome. Looking at the Emc2, stargazer and z-on. ---

You can’t really go wrong with either, but I’d suggest the Sleipnir. It’s zippier and excellent for horizontal. I’ve always found most Turning Points to be rather heavy. ---

I would, but they are out of stock everywhere and they are impossible to find for a reasonable price on the BST. 😛 ---

Ask Alex Fairhurst, he’s played all the YYRs mentioned here. I’ve ordered a Sleipnir and waiting eagerly on it 🙂 ---

I made a thread about that about a month ago but it’s mostly about how people feel about how they are different from each other.

Looks like I made the same exact thread. ;D How do you like your Sleipnir? I have a bootleg one and it plays pretty good. ---

It plays amazingly well, better than anything else I’ve played with. To me it feels like an all around good yoyo and it looks great. I got pink and it’s the perfect shade. The only thing I can’t seem to do on it is rejections very well, but maybe that’s me because I remember watching Christopher Chia doing them pretty consistently. I would definitely recommend it but I have to try to a positron so yeah, but the thing is you can definitely not go wrong with a Sleipnir. ---

Both are awesome throws. I like the Sleipnir the best, even better than my Acrophobia and E-MC2. ---

Well, it’s a smaller size yoyo for those who dont like the oversized nature of the Sleipnir. A smaller yoyo will naturally be less stable and spin less, given that both yoyos are of an equal shape etc ---

But, if you’re interested in horizontal, a Sleipner is probably your best bet. So it seems like no yoyo can match the Sleipnir in horizontal, huh? But they all look so awesome! Maybe I should go rob a bank and buy all of them. 😃 [Next page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/sleipnir-vs-rest-of-yyr/51114.md?page=2)
