Her lutz is very good. Deeper BO edge doesn't get you any more GOE than deep BO edge.
I think both have comparable lutz. Yuna's lutz is very big, and covers a lot of distance. Same with Gracie. I think it depends on the day to say who has better lutz.
Caro is also capable of getting huge GOE for her lutz. Her lutz is just perfect. I don't mind the long set up at all because she has speed, flow, height, distance going for that lutz as well.
I don't think Gracie is capable of getting +2/+3 on her loop. If you compare her loop to Caro's 3 loop, which got her +2/+3 all the time, you will see a huge difference.
Same with 3Flip. Look at Caro's 3Flip, which she also got +2/+3, Gracie's just incapable of getting even + GOE on her flip, let alone +2.
I meant NEVER.
Well, then I think you're underestimating Gracie's ceiling.
I concede that Caro's loop is better NOW than Gracie's but I think it's all a matter of edge control. The Loop is all about using the edge to generate rotational momentum, which I think that as Gracie matures and becomes a better overall skater, will become better.
The genius of Yuna's lutz is that is really isn't a super deep BO edge. She rolls her ankle to get the correct edge, but it's not deep. It's deeper now than it was before, but really, go back and watch the good lutzes, their edges are MUCH deeper than Yuna's.
