Smooth Move, if you don’t need a yoyo that babies you in terms of axis. (In other words, you can’t be hitting the extremes of the catch zone too often, and you should be comfortable with the occasional correction)
I haven’t tried a Dietz yet. It’s on my “must have undersize” list; I don’t think anyone would fault you for that choice!
On the other hand, I HAVE played a Gnarwhal and it’s a very capable yoyo. Physics makes it less stable than the bigger CLYW throws (naturally) but it’s by no means a chaotic throw. Still very controlled, but like the Smooth Move it’ll really shine when you have clean technique and can make the occasional correction.
To qualify: I have terrible technique, and I can still enjoy both the Smooth Move and the Gnarwhal. What I’m saying is that even if you have rotten technique like me, they are good yoyos-- and I would imagine that someone with better technique than mine could really bring them to life.
Maybe (just maybe) take a day or two away from the forums and throw what you have and see if you really need another yoyo… Take some time to become one with your trick and all…
Drank some aloe ( best refreshing drink ever). Okay… Would you guys pick Y-factor or Gnarwhal ( if it comes to a draw I will get the Y-factor and save up for a gnarly whal XD)
Y-factor. But you won’t like my reason: it’s because I’ve never played one. LOL! Seriously, though, so many people love their Y-factors because they claim it has that certain “magic” that’s somewhat independent of performance. Every time someone says that, it makes me want one more. I dig the Gnarwhal (a lot!) but it doesn’t hold any magic for me.
I’ll sleep and see if I get better ( I feel so tired since I had a long day of school,stress at home, and studying for algebra)… I dunno why they let me a 7th grader do 8th grade math -_-
Because you were an a student in 6th grade math… lol.
How about you make one thread, “CLYW penguins recommendation thread” and ask all your auestions there! Geez man thats a forum record, more than 10 recommendation threads a week! -_-
the reason i like the gnarwhal is due to its full sized stabitity and long spin times. Comfy somewhat organic shape. A very easy to like yoyo, and perfect for a short small handed thrower (no offense).
The dietz, on the other hand is a GREAT throw. But its shape and lightness make it a very unique, dare i say hard to like yoyo. Weird shape, very fast.
I have little experice with the y factor, but it was an ok yoyo when i tried it. nothing special.
