CLYW Big Dipper: A High Speed YoYo Review


Another big company making another plastic yo-yo that everyone seems to be clamoring for. It is incredible how yo-yo perceptions have changed over the years. Plastics of the past were relegated to the cheap cannon fodder segment of the yo-yo industry. Fast forward to today and many players are requesting that their favorite boutique company of choice make a plastic to complement their catalog of metals. Today’s example of this phenomenon is Zach Gormley’s new signature yo-yo, the Big Dipper from CLYW. This is their second plastic and first stab at a “more conventional” polycarbonate design. It will be interesting to see how this is received… no doubt some may consider this yo-yo just CLYW playing it a little safe when compared to their Yeti. I look forward to seeing what the community has to say, and with that being said here are my thoughts on it.

Great review, well done.

Agreed with all! I couldn’t get the bearing in mine to get quiet though…

edit
I put an OD 10-ball in it and it’s whisper quiet and plays like a champ… :wink:

I bought a green one a few weeks ago off of my friend and fell in love with it. I’ve been picking it up a ton this weekend and taking it out with me and have been hooked. Today I bought a grape and milk shake 'Dipper from here as I wanted to 1: have all 3 colors and 2: do some color swaps for some unique looking Dippers.

I know this thread is old, but has anybody else noticed the similarities between how Zach Gormley and Dipper Pines look? Coincidence? I think not!

Maybe I’m just dumb.

How is this thread old, I just posted it yesterday. ???

Nvm.

I are thought it was old.

All good, I was just confused. :slight_smile:

Greta review! I should probably pick one of these up…

Wasn’t a huge fan at first, but after swapping out the bearing I like it a lot more. It’s growing on me.
