Huh, first throw of this and the shape feels so _awfully_ familiar… on a hunch, I grabbed my Silenus from the wall and put it side by side with the Akita. Y’all this is basically a BIMETAL SILENUS! 🤩 Not that I’m complaining because I love the Silenus but dang this is suuuper similar in shape and size! Obviously it is a bimetal so it plays way more rimweighted. ---

I have put these side by side and they are shockingly similar.

They definitely look similar. Especially in the specs. This is the orca ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/9/9/7/9976d0e6d247aae1a1091a240895933429e25f2f.jpeg) ---

Specwise it may be similar. The shape to me is different enough to make a significant difference. The center shape and feel is a huge difference for me. The Akite slopes more gently into the center section. Then rounds out throught the center. The Silenus is straighter through those sections. For me a big feel difference. And of course its bimetal and plays differently. I think we can say that so many are similar to each other. ---

Yeah play wise being a bimetal it’s a whole different deal. But feel in the hand is VERY similar (not to mention just about identical width and diameter) – which again, is a compliment! I love the Silenus. ---

I really enjoy the Silenus as well. I argue it is one of the best values out there. ---

Is the Akita really good in general? Is it worth it? What does it play like? ---

Well as previously mentioned I would say it plays like a bimetal Silenus 🙂 ---

> [@Yoyo\_Man](#): > > Is it worth it? That would be quite subjective. For me, yes it was. I really enjoy the Shutter Wide Angle and the Silenus. I have small complaints about the feel of the Silenus and Wide Angle that are purely preference. The Akita feels better than both to me, has a rounded organic feel, nice and wide, plus bimetal. ---
