This is exciting. The first AC didn’t really interest me but this one does!
Here’s a quote straight off yoyonews.
Defending National Champion Zach Gormley is hitting the stage today with his brand new signature model from CLYW, the “Arctic Circle: Second Expedition” and YoYoNews has your first look and full specs! We spoke briefly to CLYW owner and designer Chris Mikulin about what has changed for this new model.
“For Zach’s new signature model, we started with the Arctic Circle and added inner hub design elements from the Avalance and Bear Vs Man 2, both of which have been getting a lot of play time from Zach.” said Chris Mikulin. “We made this version bigger and wider than the Arctic Circle, but wanted to retain the original’s speed. We kept the weight low to keep the return top fast, but removed the double rings and optimized the rim weight for stability, so that it requires low energy to get up to full RPMs. We also lowered the wall in the gap to make it perfect for horizontal play. The new Arctic Circle is a perfect blend of spin time and stability for competition and light, fast play for fun.”
CLYW Arctic Circle: Second Expedition Specs:
Diameter: 55.6 mm / 2.189 in
Width: 45.3 mm / 1.783 in
Gap: 4.16 mm / 0.164 in
Weight: 65.4 gm
Response: Snow Tires
While we saw CLYW come to a almost stand still during the summer, they have a lot coming now.
Bonfire, Gnarwhal 2, Full Yeti Release,
I KNOW RIGHT. I am now planning on buying a bonfire,AC2 and a colored Yeti. Also recently I bought a Yeti and my dad surprised me and told me he ordered a Summit for me…
The only thing similar between these throws is the shape. All the weight on this throw is in the rims while Summit is in the middle. The catch zone on the AC2 is larger.Theres no mid wall on this. This has no side effects.
No this one the rings were taken away so even more rim weight could be added. Making this more stable, longer spinning, and without the mid wall fantastic for horizontal.
So… This is a Summit. with a ACish cup, no SE, and a lovely light weight.
If I like this throw, I’m selling all of my Summits, and getting these.
Oh my gosh. It looks so killer…
The Midwall Is one of my favorite aspects! Eh, Not a deal breaker.
and Lightweight mid weight yoyos don’t spin as long, Sooo I’m happy with that change
looking again, it’s still midweight, but pushed outward a little more, similar to an Acrophobia/ blink.
YES.YES.YES
EVEN BETTER.
I hope they 7075 this thing eventually…
