I received my SPYY Solaris today and I must say, SPYY’s venture into the H-Profile has resulted in an extremely speedy and floaty player that will definitely make an impression with H-profile aficionados. SPYY seems to have nixed their , what seems to be signature, hub spike, for a more flat hub with setscrew holes.
On the first throw I was extremely satisfied to find this 67 gram full-size player to be simply floating at the bottom of my string. With dead on precision and a 4.25mm gap this player glides across the string like a kayak on a dead lake. I could not believe how fast of a throw this is as well, and the CBC Sili pads give way to tight and comfortable binds.
On the second throw I am happy to report that this will continue to be my daily throw for quite a while, I’m not a reviewer, so this was more so just my first impression. I definitely hope people give this one a chance.
Nice review!
Can you compare it to the Avalanche ?
IMO theyre not comparable lol. They play alot different for ME, I use my Solaris for 5a and would NOT however use my Avalanche, But they’re both excellent throws!! And i’m sure many would have a different opinion, but they “feel” entirely different.
Here’s some comparison pics:
Hope this helps
Whoa.
Thanx!
I mostly interested in the weight differences between the Solaris and the Avalanche
Which is lighter on the string in your opinion ?
thanx again
CLYW Avalanche:
• Diameter: 55.5 mm
• Width: 43.0 mm
• Gap: 4.14mm
• Weight: 67.2 g
• Bearing: Size C Steel 8-Ball
• Response: Flowable Silicone
SPYY Solaris:
Diameter: 56mm
Width: 40mm
Weight: 67g
Gap: 4.25mm
Response: CBC silicone pads
Bearing: stainless, size C (large)
I personally feel that the Solaris is MUCH lighter on the string and much more floaty and quick. Don’t get me wrong tho. I <3 my Avalanche! But the Solaris is going into my case of throws that will NEVER be traded.
How is it for 5a?
ATM this is my Main 5a throw.
Cool Beans
I’d be interested how this compares to the Supernova and Supernova Lite…
Wait a minute, you got a second one, is it really that good?
Why would you want 2
/Frowns with envy
Cuz i got a really good offer for the first one and i took him up on it. and no i could NOT go without my Solaris, so yes, i bought a second one.
If you could only have one which would it be ???
…hmm… I love em both, but the Avalanche.
Which one do you think has a longer spin time? Solaris or Genesis(the new version) Not the hubstacked one though. I don’t know if you have the Genesis but if you don’t how long is the solaris’ spin time?
Thanks.
Difficult to say, I do not play stock bearings, Terrapin X all the way.
I feel that aside from my CLYW Avalanche, my SPYY Solaris is my smoothest and fastest throw, I’m beyond impressed, actually went into my “do not trade” case
As compared to a YYF Genesis, I played around a little bit with one of those newer like puke looking colorways, and I could never ever compare it to a Solaris, I hope someone else chimes in, as I do not own one myself. (being a Genesis).
Sorry I couldn’t be moar helpful.
Agreed. My hand fights over which one it wants to throw from time-to-time.

My Hands don’t need to cause I only have one good throw.
