Uh summit is way more stable, wider, spins longer for me, and is just all around more awesome. Avalanche is really good, don’t get me wrong. I just feel the summit outplays it. ---

Summit seems like a competition throw while the avalanche is a leisure throw. I find the shape of the avalanche much more comfortable and I like the floatiness of it on the string ---

I find the shape of the avalanche much more comfortable and I like the floatiness of it on the string Thank you I should’ve mentioned this. That being said, the summit has a decent amount of floaty, but not compared to the Ava. ---

I like the Summit but I love the Avalanche. If you want to change up the look and play go for the side effects. I personally feel the Avalanche is the most reliable throw. ---

Are we talking about the OG Ava or the new Ava? If were talking about the new Ava, it is floatier than the Summit, old Ava, not so much. I prefer the OG Avalanche over both the Summit and the New Ava. ---

i have both ava, OG and new, i prefer the OG as well… plus being discontinued makes it even more of the legend it was when they still had the Kizstian Kalulza’s CAD but nonetheless i bought a summit, i’m wondering how it’ll be compared to the 2 av i have…
