Okay darn I need to respond here. But I haven’t read this thread through yet. I spend most of my time on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Snapchat. So if you want to reach me the best way is honestly Snapchat right now, lol. Hit me up at: clywcanada
I’ll respond with more once I read this, but just wanted to make sure people know that we’re definitely not all about money. If I cared so much about money I would have stayed an engineer and kept yoyoing as just a hobby. If you want to know how much we made March 2014 to March 2015 it was in the red (that means negative dollars). So you think we’re all about profits? YA? NO!
Everything goes back into this business, our team, employees and sponsoring contests. Our goal has always been to support the scene and the players that are doing amazing things and working hard. I’d rather be able to send 8 players to Japan then buy myself a Yaris. Actually if you wanted to know, I do freelance work right now on the side to help pay the bills, plus Steve has multiple jobs. We do this because we LOVE IT and want to help this community grow.
If we make a bi-metal in China it means you won’t have to pay over $150 for it. We actually just got the prototype and the quality is absolutely amazing. Zero vibe, no machine lines, plays exactly like how I calculated it would. Couldn’t be prouder and I can’t wait for Andrew to try his new sig. He’s going to love it!
Anyways, time to go home and hug my kids. Bye!

PS: The only things we have plans to make in China right now are Bi-Metals and a plastic. That’s it. Mainly because these things cannot be made in North America at an affordable price for us. Maybe they can, but I can’t find them … or haven’t tried hard enough.

PPS: The thought of a budget metal is still just in our heads. We haven’t moved forward with anything. I would like to see how the bi-metal and plastic do first.
