Hi guys my name is Daniel and I watch your show A LOT. I find your reviews very helpful and your show a lot of fun. Well, I have been wanting to purchase a new yoyo now for a while and I have narrowed the choices down to two yoyos; The onedrop P2 and the CLYW Bassalope. I know you have reviewed them both but I still couldn’t come across the best choice. Just some things to keep in mind: The Bassalope would be a LB with a silicone response- not pad. While the P2 is normal. Also, price is not a factor- but since this will be a big purchase for me I would like to only get the best yoyo out of the two. Thank You Very Much For Your Help!!!!!!!
-Daniel
P.S. How is the Sasqautch and Gnarwhal? Just Wondering- they Seem nice. Thanks again!
