Thinking about getting a new throw for Christmas. Price range is about 85 to 115. I was thinking about getting either a clyw or one drop but am open to any suggestion. I like floaty fluent play and size not sure. Any suggestions and why. also can u tell me how big the yoyo is. Ik that’s a lot thanks ---

Well if you want light and floaty I would go with One Drop. The 54 (Aluminum Spikes), The DANG, and the Code 1 are light, so those would be excellent choices. They also feature the Side Effects which is awesome. Hope this helps 🙂 ---

I swear, you two planned that. Anyway, a Genesis seems to fit your preferences. Around 56mm, very floaty during play. ---

Yea, but I mean like compare a Dark Magic to a One Drop Cafe Racer and the Cafe Racer is a lot more “floaty”. Is it the material of the yo-yo, the shape, etc that makes it “floaty”? ---

I have a Zen 5 and it is very floaty. It’s only like 50 bucks, so you could buy a Di Base with it. Both are really great yoyos. ---

> [@101396](#): > > How would like a gnarwal fit in that category. I was thinking a genisis but don’t really want a yyf I think the Gnarwal is cool, but you said you wanted floaty and I’m not exactly sure if it is… but it’s your decision, maybe you should try it out? I still suggest the One Drop 54. It’s light, designed to be floaty, and again, has the side effects ---
