Havenā€™t tried both but have tried the Manatee and wasnā€™t too much of a fan of the width response or overall I guess it just felt a bit cumbersome on the string. Iā€™ve been looking at a Batsquatch too. Just havenā€™t pulled the trigger. :joy: ---

Never tried a manatee, but I can vouch for the Batsquatch as a killer yo-yo. Shared it at the DXL meetup in SoCal and it was warmly received. ---

Batsquatch is light and maneuverable for lack of better words. Floaty but responds to your directions. Not cumbersome by any means. I really enjoy mine and the colors they do are on point. Mine was dead smooth and quiet. ---

I will probably keep my Batsquatch for quite a long time. I traded my Manatee about 6 months after I got it. The Manatee felt too clunky. The Batsquatch feels like home. ---

Manatee is very good. It plays like a well rounded, wide throw. Most people seem to adore the Batsquatch. Itā€™s one of the best organic bimetals. I would say itā€™s agile, substantial and flowy on the string, not too powerful or stable. ---

Those are much better descriptors than mine ^\_^. I donā€™t have a stability issue, but it is nimble. ---
