It is almost as good. Bit of luck is involved though. I have a bassalope, crazy good, smooth as my addiction, which was not B-Grade, although the bassalope is. After alot of searching, I think, it got in there by accident. ;D Crazy good ano to, it’s a whispy swirl one… so really, I can’t tell. ---

My Fools Gold Marmot is amazing. The only cosmetic problem I can see is a very tiny “smudge” in the anno along one rim, but you have to look for it to even notice it. As far as how it plays, it’s just as good as any “regular” CLYW I’ve ever thrown. There’s a tiny bit of vibe occasionally, but that’s gonna happen with almost any yo-yo. I can’t say enough good things about the Fools Gold line. I’ll definitely be buying another one in the future.
