Has anyone tried both of them? (Not proto) Would like to hear how they play, thanks! ---

Wildfire is CLYW. A new bi-metal bonfire ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/2/2/0/2209c486c3da15c04870eb8dbfd2b8df8aa1f6f1.jpeg) ---

Here’s the Grasshopper GTX as well ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/f/a/d/fad4303538578bf74957c71544f2d710fbe10dad.jpeg) I really like this “bimetal edges extending beyond the aluminum rim” trend, for the record. That started in 2018! Also wow… [only $75](https://www.yo-yo.com/blog/World-Champion-Janos-Karancz-Grasshopper-GTX) that’s VERY cheap for a fancy bimetal! ---

Yeah, I picked up a Haymaker X last year because I liked the “extended rim” concept. ---

I’ve been looking at the GTX myself. That is one slick looking throw for $75. I’d love to see a comparison between the GTX and the original X. I thought it was strange that the GTX is newer and seems to have superior specs but is $20 cheaper (or $35 cheaper for some of the splashed paints). ---

I thought it was strange that the GTX is newer and seems to have superior specs but is $20 cheaper (or $35 cheaper for some of the splashed paints). I’m also curious about this, but I suspect they’ve found some new efficiency either in the design or their manufacturing.
