Whats up with the Avant Garde 2 hate?

One time when I used a AG2, the second it hit my hand it spun out. Not just once, every time! And it does not spin very long, IMO, it’s way overpriced!

i tried it for five minutes at triple crown. I thought it was a super smooth yoyo and it didn’t sit to badly in the hand. IMO i would get one if i could get my hands on it. Fits what i look for just i don’t have cash

Can anyone tell me how it compares to the Glacier Express?

The glacier express is better but still too heavy for me to really like it. My favorite yoyo shaped that way is definitly the x^3 ZeuS. It just blows the glacier express and the avant garde 2 out of the ball park. I got mine finally and I’m not letting go of it.
