The Beater is the first CLYW signature model for U.S. National YoYo Master Steve Brown (@unklesteve), and the first organic we’ve produced with our double-rim design.
Manufactured with 7075 aluminum for extra durability, the Beater was designed to be fat, smooth, and fun and hold up to the kind of abuse that Steve so famously puts his return tops through. From Walking the Dog on concrete to creating foundational counterweight tricks that required you to throw the return top at a wall, Steve has always punished his equipment and the Beater is built to take it.
The Beater box and pin art features Steve’s first car: a 1982 Honda Accord that survived two floods, poor maintenance practices, several hurricanes, and four people all getting food poisoning at the same time.
It plays good, and it’ll take a hit. Comes with a LOG counterweight.
I just have to add I have been throwing this since Nationals and WOW it has definitely become one of my all time favorites. It has such a unique feel to it (I have always been a fan of inner rim design like the classic Chief) - and mixing this with organic shape and 7075 aluminum gives it this stable yet floaty feel with classic/comfortable shape that hits just right. One of the first true organic shapes that can really take whatever you throw at it too thanks too that inner cut out too at the gap. It’s super fun.
If there’s any left by the time I get paid I’m picking one up. I wish half swaps were available. I do love a good half swap. If anyone wants to trade halves once I get one that would be great
YYE will do it for you if you have someone who is willing to order the halfswap with you. one of you orders one color, the other orders the second color and they’ll swap/tune them for you before shipping. @adamantiumpops and I did that with the Ditch.
