Yeah, both are nice organic shapes. Not exactly the same though. ---

The Peak looks a a bit more rounded on the ends. The Raptor doesn’t as much. ---

I can see it a little bit now that you mention it. It is more noticeable the closer you get to the gap. The rims are not as similar but the high walled gaps are quite close. ---

I actually watched a review for the Raptor on YouTube, and the reviewer compared it to the Peak…and thought that they were very similar. I was like, “No way! A $40 Duncan is a lot like a CLYW? Awesome!” ---

Back in the '90s we would have referred to them both as"yoyo shaped". Now they call that shape “organic”. YYE sells about 50 different throws that are that same shape. They all still sell 'cause it’s still a great old shape. ---

Not really… But I’d like to try a Raptor sooner or later.
