Good question! I would have to say its a toss up. My first answer wants to be a Puffin2. Its just so smooth, and comfy, and chill as ice. One of the best âall aroundersâ Ive got.
But the Orca and Sasquatch both come to mind and really relaxed (but still has pep if desired)
Thanks man! Always think of you when it comes to well informed clyw owners
Perfect, I have an orca on the way already

Thanks buddy!
Also Get excited. You gonna love that Orca!
Dust:
The orca feels âfatâ due to pretty heavy rim weight. Heft in the hand, but pretty nimble on the string. No brick feeling, no thuds, but substance!
Its neither a good or bad thing, just a thought i had while playing it.
Awesome!! Looks like itâll be the next one I pick up.
Orca sounds like a lot of fun.
If you ask me, If you get the chief you truly will not be disappointed. As Dust stated earlier, it simply is magic

Great choice! Which colorway are you getting it in?
I will probably get it in the long run

between you and me, I prefer the older colorways anyways
Me too
Dust, I have another question (sorry for asking so many questions!)
What does it mean when a yoyo/return top is âfloatyâ?

For most of them, I would agree :)There are a few of the new ones that I really like though too

Never apologize about asking questions buddy!
Floaty is a subjective term that will mean something slightly different to everyone you ask. Generally speaking its the feeling of lightness even though the âweighs so-and-so gramsâ would say it should play heavy.
Some people will tell you that a floaty yoyo will have more hang time giving you more time to do your stuff. These people need to understand physics a bit more. haha No yoyo stays in the air longer than any other.
I tend not to use the term myself since its kinda wishy-washy.
However that being said, the floaty CLYWâs that I have that come to mind first would be Bonfire, Chief, Summit.

Wow!! Thank you so much Dust!!
Talking about CLYW, Iâm very happy that theyâre going to start putting in Ceramic KonKaves on their return tops
Dust:
I have them all. And LOVE each of them, but for slightly differnt reasons. I spend a few hours a day with my CLâs so I can share my thoughts on the matter. I can say that if you like CLYW throws, youll probably end up getting them all too!
Orca - Fat, chill and relaxed. String presents is made itself known with a touch of heft. Not as fast as say the scout but very stable. Its got a step in the body that makes it comfy in the hand as your middle finger just nestles right in. Always seems to make you want to throw it again making it hard to put down. That said, Orca seems to get the least playtime of the bunch.
Bonfire - It really is floaty in all the right ways. Its got a slightly mounded center hub that makes it feel good on the string and move with minimal energy. Wide in the hand, wide in the gap. I feel this one is just a freestyle monster. Whatever whenever fast or slow. Bonfire is awesome. I always feel like a boss when throwing the bonfire.
Scout - Its light in the hand and fast on the string. It changes direction easily, zippy but not warpspeed. It never really goes faster than I want it to but have not found âtoo fastâ for it either, but im no speed player so im bad comparison. Scout is stable as well and good all arounder as well.
Chief - Unique in both look and play. Nice in the hand, the inner ring makes it feel like nothing else. Heavy in the hand, light on the string. It feels like. . . magic in a way. something strange and mystical about it, but slays evey combo ive manged to muster. It almost seems like a chief is âTHEâ clyw is alot of ways. While poor for horizontal finger spins, its fantastic for just about everything and most play styles that dont involve speed as the main focus.
I must give a loving shutout to some others just cause i love them so much. Sasquatch is just awesome. there are still fools gold ones at CLYWâs own website for a steal of a deal. Get one before they are gone! Also the BearVsMan2 is worth the effort to finding. And finally the Wooly Marmont 2 which seems to get the most play time of my bunch. Just something about it. Its smaller, faster, and amazing in the hand. Not the most stable, but often seems the most fun. Not sure why, just love that one.
Just received my Bonfire earlier this morning⌠And I agree with you Dust, it is awesome and I feel like a boss throwing it

Thowiin mine today, and yep. Still feels like a boss. haha
I love it so much!!
Feels like itâs flying when I throw it.
Hey again Dust
I wanted to ask you, is the Scout similar in terms of its feel and playability compared to the Bonfire?

Both play very similar to each other, with the scout having a touch more speed at the helm.
In the hand the feel very similar but differently enough on the string to justify both at some point or another, but if you have one or the other and want something more different than it, you may want look elsewhere.
I think the Scout is fantastic but the Bonfire gets more time in my hand. (That could be due to the rainbow trout colorway and me wanting to keep that one pristine)
