CLYW

Steve, I never meant any offense with my first comment about you doing 5a at worlds. I meant "How is that" like in "How is that possible."

November 04, 2015

Here's how it's possible:

---

Because instead of practicing for 6/8/10 hours a day like I used to, here's what I spend my time on instead:

---

- beautiful wife
- three kids
- CLYW
- YoYoNews.com
- Las Vegas Open
- Ohio States
- Triple Crown
- Worlds 2016
- Bindlewood.com (another project I run)

---

You hit a point where you just don't have time to put into practice anymore. I miss it, sure, but I'm alright with where things are because I'm doing a lot more good for the community by providing all of this stuff than I would be if I was just making tricks and winning contests. -Steve

Saw Petr post a 7075 Scout. What's up with that? Is Slusny selling them? Or CLYW?

November 04, 2015

Slusny has a few, the rest should be dropping soonish. -Steve

A Canadian company? which products from clyw are made in canada?

November 04, 2015

You don't have to make all your products in Canada (or any of them, actually) in order to be a Canadian company. -Steve

What plastic was the original yeti made of? I know it had glass particles or something, but I'm really interested in the material.

November 04, 2015

I don't remember the trade name of the material, but it's really neat stuff...just not really neat for return tops. Too many issues that we didn't find out about until it was too late. :( -Steve

In terms of design aesthetics, will you include the "nipple" to new model to keep with clyw design continuity at the risk of hurting the "finger spin" capabilities? I understand that Chris has designed all the clyw yoyos, just curious if he worries more about traditional or modern design?

November 04, 2015

He's always looking for the best balanced design in terms of aesthetics vs functionality. The Borealis has only a minimal nipple, the Blizzard has a full nipple, the Big Dipper has a minimal nipple, and the new Kurti return top has none at all.

---

It's a matter of what the player wants, what direction we are leaning in at that moment, what serves the functionality the best, and what looks awesome...and finding a middle point between all those things. -Steve

Will the Borealis be releasing by Black Friday?

November 03, 2015

Not sure. Kinda up to the engraver at this point.

But we won't be running any Black Friday deals because that whole scene is gross. Thanksgiving is for family, not for hovering around stores and your computer to buy stuff. Ugh. -Steve

Just wondering Steve, why would you recommend staying off forums?

November 03, 2015

Because they are a warped and wholly inaccurate view of the modern return top scene filled with a tremendous amount of misinformation and ill-informed opinions masquerading as experience. -Steve

You invented counterweight, and yet if you competed in it at worlds, you wouldn't make it past prelims. How is that?
