What does Zach say When he comes to barber? I wanna have simillar haircut as he has.
Pretty sure he says "Hello barber, I would like for you to cut some of my hairs, please. Thank you." -Steve
what is the point to have subbrands? i kinda understand alec(hewant try something on his own), but chris is the owner, why dont he just relase his yoyo as clyw? thx and sorry for my english(not a native speaker)
It allows a wider range of creative freedom. If Chris did what he's doing with Pool Party, but just released it as a new return top from CLYW, people would complain about the design, the artwork, the Instagram posts, etc. because they aren't "CLYW enough". Creating a sub-brand (just like an artist leaving his band to do a solo album) allows a different level of creative freedom. And it's fun to be able to do something completely different. It's like when John Ando switched from 2A to 1A...it's not like he quit playing 2A, it's just that he wanted to be creative in a different direction. -Steve
Next time I'm in Edmonton, can I buy yoyos direct from the CLYW mothership? Paying international shipping to buy from a Canadian business is a bit of a bummer.
Email thelodge@clyw.ca to set something up! -Steve
In your photo of your CLYW collection Steve, what's up with the USPS box behind it, does it say CLYW Peak? Do you really have a box full of them? 😳
Nope, it says "CLYW Promo" and it was various stickers, patches, pins, etc. Gave it all out at Worlds, the box currently has office supplies in it. -Steve
Are fg clyw get the gruntbull finish too? I have an orca colorwya orca that is fg for ano issue and it doesn't feel nearly as smooth as my manatee
Fools Gold are just return tops that didn't meet our standards for retail. They have the same finish as the rest of whatever batch they were part of. -Steve
Is Zach competing at nats this year?
He's qualified and registered, but not 100% sure if he's going. -Steve
Is the new Basecamp yoyo "different", like the Moonshine, as in something that currently isn't on the market?
Why do you think it is that it's popular for plastics to have filled in cups (such as The big dipper) wouldn't it usually hinder performance? Or is it a matter of moulding being easier?
It makes molding easier and more consistent. -Steve
Would you ever consider making a plastic with weight rings? I'd imagine the igloo is a really good candidate to have a plastic re-design. What do you think of the idea?
In the recent years we've seen many new plastic models that play incredibly well (Big Dipper included;) ). Seems like they all share some design elements - primarily, really thick walls, a lot of material inside the cup.
Do you know what was the first yoyo to use this style of construction?
I think it was YoYoJam with the Classic. But I can't say for sure. Duncan's all had a thick wall too. But I think yoyojam really did a great job making it work. Then the diffusion made it really really work. -Chris
What does floaty mean to you? In a yoyo aspect of course
It means it plays lighter than it should for the weight. It is airy and maneuverable. Not too much rim weight and not too much center weight, and not too much mid weight. Just magically balanced so it almost feels like it has hang time. -Chris
