who was the first ever member on Clyw? Alex or Pekka?
Pretty sure it was Pekka. -Steve
Hey! Just wondering, is there any special reason that the AC2 is one of the most (if not THE most) expensive throws of CLYW? Is it heavier/bigger than the others? Also, if you could rate it's spintime/stability what would you give? (to have a scale, consider the Sasquatch a 10/10 haha!)
It's a matter of machine time. It costs more to make...and any increase in cost gets magnified when it goes from factory -> CLYW -> retailers. Hard to guess at spin time, since that's based mostly on your throw and whether or not you stay in-plane when you are playing, but it definitely doesn't have the super rim weight concentration of the Sasquatch. -Steve
The team seems to love fat Kittystrings - they are considered to be more controllable for slacks and whips, aren't they? Was just wondering if it could rede the spintime a little bit when there's more/fatter string in the yoyo gap?
It might affect it a *tiny* bit when they are brand new, but any ill effects from the thickness of the string are going to go away pretty quickly once the string breaks in, which happens quickly. -Steve
in the clyw bonfire video, the bonfire was slapped out of a set of hands, then shot with a hockey stick across the garage. Can the orca withstand such strain and still play?
Of course. Our return tops are all dipped in lumberjack blood before anodizing. -Steve
who takes all the photographs of your return tops on the wood surface?
Our assembly team. -Steve
who assembles all your return tops? Does Steve do it?
Nope...we have a small assembly team here in the US that handles it. Sometimes our friends at @onedropyoyos will assemble for us as well. -Steve
I just received my Hulk Splash Fade Avalanche. Couldn't be happier! Love the new anno job. It seems much shinier (less blasted/matte) than previous releases. Similar to one drop's finish. Did you change the finish, or is it just the a side effect of the new anno process? No complaints, just curious.
Every anodizer preps the raw halves differently. Some offer multiple finish options, some don't. -Steve
