I can't decide which one to pick up first. Orca, Bonfire, Chief, or Scout? ⛏⛏
Chief! It's such a perfectly Caribou kinda return top. -Steve
So will you guys ever sell transparent yetis or any other plastic return top?
When you say "transparent" do you mean totally clear, or just translucent colors? If you mean "totally clear", I'm not sure but we have no current plans. If you mean translucent colors, we have four colors of the new Yeti coming, and one of them is a translucent green that you're gonna LOVE. It's fantastic. -Steve
I plan on getting an Orca in the uncola colorway. Do you have a picture of it spinning? Would love to see how it looks like spinning in picture before purchasing it. And what is the meaning of uncola? Thank you!!
I don't have a picture of it spinning, unfortunately. Maybe try YoYoExpert? They do spinning shots of everything they stock. The name is a 7-Up reference from the 80s. Look up the old commercials on YouTube, they're hilarious. -Steve
Is it just me or gold /blue scouts look amazing? and also...imo the proto cokour borealis(that blue) ...wow..have you ever thought about selling prototype coloured return tops?
We did with the Igloo and Blizzard 😉 -Chris
Were there any manatees left after BAC?
Of what I took to the contest, no. But there are many more that will be distributed to stores soon. -Chris
Which player is in line for a signature yoyo? Any new non signature models coming up? :)
Tessa, Yuuki, Anthony ... And yes some new stuff soon soon! -Chris
CLYW X yoyorecreation please! It'll be such a killer partnership.
YoYoRecreation make some great stuff, but not really our style. But we do have a couple of AMAZING collaborations in the works that I think you're gonna love. ;) -Steve
Dropped my Blizzard and now have vibe 😩 Tips for getting over it?
Argh! Bummer! It happens though...any return top can pick up a little vibe if you hit it just right (or just wrong, I guess). Just focus on your tricks, and try to remember that return tops are still just tools to get the job done. Every hammer picks up a few scratches, that just means it's being used. -Steve
Is Maiderade going to be one of the colorways in the first run of Manatees?
Nopeeeee
Will any CLYW member be at the Asia Pacific contest? I understand Steve doesn't like the people there but it will be nice to have you guys around!
Steve doesn't have any issues with any Asia Pacific players ... He was just being a grumpy old fart and was salty about a couple products and Yoyos he ordered from Singapore that were damaged. It's all good. Not sure if anyone from the team will be able to make it. It's very expensive and we need to save for worlds. -Chris
Takes to Harrison a little bit about the Orca today and he loved the design as it is right now. Can't think of any changes. We might do something cool with it though. We'll see. -Chris
Will the manatee release have the adorable manatee icon engraving or just the text names of the throw and player? Or will it have one of each on either side?
Hey,
I just picked up a manatee at BAC and it plays great!! However, whenever I pull the yoyo up it binds by itself (it pretty much plays responsive). Is this a problem with the bearing, or do I just need to break down the yoyo by playing with it more. Thanks!
Should have found me yesterday and I could have replaced the bearing for you. These ones are pretty dry so they can sometimes need a drop of lube in them to start. Just email us through our site and we can send you a new bearing. -Chris
Do you like hamsters?
Not really. They are cute to look at, but would never want one. -Chris
Just wanted to say, my igloo is dope. Far and away the best throw I've ever had. Also the prettiest. Since I already have a bi-metal, would it be worth investing in a blizzard? Do they play that differently? Or am I better off spending my monies on a yeti 2.0?
Thanks, glad you like it! The Igloo and the Blizzard play sooooo different! If you really like bi-metal performance, get a Blizzard too. They are nothing alike. -Steve
Hello! I really like the old style of Zach than the new one and I don't know why!! He is too good but I feel his old style was better. Will you make new version of the Article Circle ?
Everyone has their own preferences! But no, we aren't going to bring back the Arctic Circle....Zach has moved on and we're totally cool with that. -Steve
Any plans for a BBB Scout? There still hasn't been one yet!
We tried to run it, and Petr wanted the speckles to be a little bit more "splashy", and the anodizer went TOTALLY overboard and we ended up with Disco Panther. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
From now on are you using ceramic koncave bearings?
