I recently won a chief and glide 😃 and I want another CLYW. I have come down to the puffin and arctic circle. As I’ve noticed, my code 2 and chief play very differently. And I find it very difficult to pick a favorite. I would like to know their differences, how they play, what you prefer, and why. Thanks mucho ---

I have a puffin and an AC. My preference between the two is the AC because it is more stable, and plays faster. Also the puffin’s diameter is a tiny bit undersized, and it’s width is very wide. These are both very good throws, and this choice is all preference. ---

Feel like adding bvmr2 to the mix. So an opinion on that is appreciated too ---

I have a Puffin and have played a Bear Vs. Man Round 2 and Arctic Circle. Out of the 3, I recommend the BvM2. It is fast, stable, and floaty all at the same time. It is one of the best yoyos I have ever thrown! ---

The Arctic Circle feels quite solid. Lacking a bit of stability for my liking. The other two I’ve only played briefly. The puffin was ok, but didn’t feel anything special and also lacking a little in the stability department, though this was more expected for a yoyo of its diameter. The BvM2 was nice. Nothing particularly stood out, just felt like a well rounded pleasant yoyo to throw. ---

Thanks mucho I hear the puffin is more of a, kinda layes back chill type yoyo, and the arctic circle is more competition serious yoyo, what did you get? ---

I own the AC and the BvM2 and without a doubt i can say BvM2 \> AC in pretty much everything (the AC is still awesome but the BvM is just beastly). Get the BvM 2 ;D
