What’s the reason for companies having b-grades? Some do and some don’t. Shouldn’t all companies have b-grades? ---

Some companies scrap them or give them to team members ---

Sometimes in the machining process of throws, things get a little bit off, which can cause vibration. Other times there’s an anodization flaw. It’s up to the company to decide how much vibration and anodization errors they will allow. For example, about a year ago I bought a new C3 Capless that was a pink/purple acid wash. I noticed later that it had a few spots that we’re blue instead of purple or pink, but it still passed quality control as an A-grade. ---

IMO, everyone should be like CLYW and sell their b-grades. ---

I have only had one B-grade yoyo and it’s in the hands of a friend. I probably wouldn’t sell a B-grade unless it was to a close friend. To me i’d rather not put out an inferior product. Each company is different though. ---
