will the orca be released in retailers or the clyw store?
First batch will be solid colors, available only from CLYW.ca. Then there will be a batch with our usual fancy splash colors, and that will be available from retailers. -Steve
Can you guys make a documentary I'm detail on how you design manufacture and others things without the specs and secrets? I'm extremely curious about manufactoring a yoyo.
do you think that if a bearing were beadblasted on the outside, it would make the yo-yo more or less responsive?
Having any kind of irregular surface on the outside of a bearing would really screw up the tolerances and the play. -Steve
Steve I don't know why so many people have been hatin on CLYW since you joined. But I like the new direction of the company now that your on board. Yoyo's are being released more often and a ton of great throws are coming out. The only thing I HATE! is that all of this makes me wanna spend money :)
People don't like it when something they love changes. It makes them nervous that this thing they love is going to turn into something they don't. The only thing to do when you are the guy coming in and changing the thing they love is to make sure that the changes are for the better, that you aren't taking away the things they loved, and that you love it as much as they do. -Steve
Please, keep making the AC2! If Zach is moving in a new direction and needs a new return top then make it, but please keep the AC2! Do it for the fans!
I'm usually swayed by the "do it for the fans" deal, since I'm just a big return top fanboy myself. But Zach straight up wrecked US Nationals and 44Clash last year, and it still sold really slowly. So I dunno. The fans may be fans, but if they aren't buying then it doesn't work. I'll talk it out with Chris. It's a great return top, we and a lot of the team love it, but it has to make sense on all sides, ya know? -Steve
