I have both of these yoyos and I find myself reaching for the Gnarwhal 2 way more often. I’m a sucker for smaller diameter throws and the gnarwhal has that classic organic V shape CLYW does so well. Both are plenty capable in the performance department. I recommend trying a Chief if you can find one! ---

Well…gnarwhal has a freaking horn on its head. I think it’d win in a fight vs an orca IMHO. ---

I would take Gnar 2. That thing is a super fun all arounder. I didn’t bond with the orca very well. I found it a bit heavy and sluggish for my liking. As far as CLYW reccs? Chief, BVM2, and Avalanche all come to mind ---

So the gnar2 is faster while the orca is more solid ? ---

Exactly. At least in my case this was true. While Gnar isnt a speedy throw in general, it is a bit smaller and will feel like its moving faster. You can push it alot more. It was just more “fun” for me. ---
