Hi everyone, I’ve been trying out a bunch of G2 throws and thought I would ask everyone opinions of what I should try next. I’m thinking about looking for an albatross but wanted to get opinions first.

G2 throws I like:  
Nessie  
Tishee  
Elite  
Elite 18

Throws I wasn’t a fan of:  
Oc  
Ghost  
Arbiter  
Triton  
Warthog  
Banshee ss  
Ti hawk  
Covenant  
Campaign

What was it about the Warthog that disappointed you?

I got an al7 warthog and I just thought it played too heavy.

albatross is my favorite of the g2 lineup next to the hawk. respawn is good if you like responsive.

If you like lightweight throws, the OG Elite is a strong contender.

Albatross is one of the throws I want to try. I wasn’t a fan of the ti hawk so I’m not sure if I would like the normal hawk.

My 6061 Aluminum Hawks play better than the TiHawk IMO. It just so much smoother, and the swirl doesn’t hurt its aesthetic either.

I guess there’s a lot of variability in the titanium releases. My TiHawk feels like a performance beast. It is extremely smooth and fast and stable, very much like my RRT Boa.

Dimensions and an understanding of weight distribution tell the true story.

Oh and marketing. #hype

Death Robot MG would be a good Tri Metal in my opinion but it’s mostly just a solid magnesium throw

I was mostly kidding, but there is at least one trimetal, the Ahay Index.
