Why not get the Chik when it comes out? Will be cheaper than either of those and looks amazing imo. ---

1. j/k If you’re options are those 2, get the code 2. ---

They are two totally different yoyos. Gnarwhal is on the smaller side. It’s an amazing yoyo, but due to the laws of physics it is a bit more tippy. On the other hand, the same principles that make it tippy also make it really quick to “correct” when you need to. :wink: Although not the biggest yoyo in existence, the Code 2 feels much fuller in the hand. It is also stronger- and longer-spinning. The Gnarwhal grinds a bit better (except for thumb grinds; the Code 2 IRG is great; Gnarwhal has none). But the original point again: they are totally different. Other than both being yoyos, you’re comparing apples to oranges. ---

Why not try the CODE 1? A lot of people look past it now the CODE 2 is out, but it’s not like the C2 is a sequel or anything. The only thing that connects the two is really the fact that the community designed both. The CODE 1 is an amazing guy stable and floaty player that is a great throw in its own right. But, since you didn’t ask about the CODE 1, if you like small and floaty, gnarwhal. Larger and solid, CODE 2
