For boredom, duh 
Theyâre in a similar wheelhouse: long-spinning, stable, but lightweight. The feel in hand and during tricks is a bit different, though. As you can imagine from pictures, the Pulsefire seems to have a bit more âeaseâ manoevering through string formations. The straighter angles make it feel like you can get it into tight spaces.
Did I mention theyâre both stable? Like⌠nutty stable. I didnât own a Draupnir, but as I recall from time spent playing one, itâs that kind of category for both the Pulsefire and the Rave. I would give a SLIGHT stability edge to the Rave (you can even see thereâs more SS at the rims), but I mean⌠itâs kind of pointless to even compare because theyâre both into that category of âway more stable than any human really needsâ.
The Rave looks more comfy on the catch, and it surely fills out the palm a bit more, but you know what? In practice I find them both very comfortable to catch. I thought the Rave would have a hands-down victory in that department, but no. Theyâre both good. The slightly sharp âedgesâ just inside the cup for the Rave are the only thing that make it on the same level, though. With a bevel or something on the inside, I think the Rave would take it.
Ano-wise, the edge goes to the Rave in red/yellow/black over the Pulsefireâs orange acid on black. Thatâs totally opinion, though. The rave is a beauty especially when spinning. On the other hand, both my custom engraving and the retail Pulsefire engraving have the Pulsefire winning in the engraving department.
Both have âfine for fingerspinsâ hubs (flat), but I seem to do better with the Pulsefire. Not sure why. I canât horizontal for beans, but I think either of them would be great for horizontal players.
Theyâre both amazing. Get either. Or both. If you get both, understand that they donât play radically different from one another. But both play at the level of $200+ bi-metals, thereâs that. If I lost either of them tomorrow, I would buy replacements.
