So I’m taking a look at the DNA, and it seems really amazing and has the right weight for me, plus it has hubstacks, which is pretty amazing.
I was also looking at the CLYW throws and I would like something light and fast, and I’ve always wanted to try a Caribou Lodge throw. I was thinking about the Gnarwhal (second run)
I have both a DNA, mutant DNA and a gnarwhal and they are completely different
The DNA is lighter than the 888 and plays really stable for its rounded butterfly shape, I prefer the mutant DNA over the DNA because its more stable and sleeps longer, and just a tip if you decide to get a DNA buy nubs because IMO its plays better without the hubstacks
The gnarwhal plays really smooth and fast, and its great at grinds and hop tricks
I will try to put a picture of them next to each other so you can see the shapes compared
Yea the code1 is great player and is shaped a lot like the superstar/dang if you have tried either I like the sideaffects a lot and its grinding surface is great
IMO many CLYW yoyos are known for their trademark floatiness. So if you like floaty yoyos, a gnarwal would be great. As i have never thrown a DNA, i cant give you a comparrison. hope thats helpful ;D
The dna can not grind to save your life, hehe. I would recommend the gnarwhal or the code 1 like the others are saying. I would probably go with the code because it will be easier to find and if you don’t like the weight then you can change it with side effects…kinda like tuning the weight. The gnarwhal is amazing and good for grinds as well but it will not be easy to find one for cheap or fair trade since there is an amazing amount of CLYW hype. Either will be great but I would suggest the code, hope that helps.
