CLYW YETI

@saintrobyn

I answered that in your other post.

The short version of my answer:

It has the same slight CLYW that gave their earlier models the charm and character that I loved from the CLYW models of years past. Mine plays great.

I have owned old clyws but this is bad

All these good reviews of the Yeti make me sad I can’t play mine for a couple weeks. Glad you guys are happy with your purchases! At least when I get back I’ll have quite a few CLYW throws waiting for me!

I didn’t even bother throwing it with the Center Track. I swapped it for a 10-Ball right off the bat. Maybe you should swap the bearings and give it another throw.

Got my Yeti today.

First I must say, YYE included an extra Yeti sticker in the box. YAY!!! (Kermit arm flail)

Yes, it is the little things that make me happy and of all the great CLYW box are, I think I like the yeti art best.

Anyways, I did exactly what I said I would do. I took the extra spacers and slapped them on a spare 10-Ball. Swapped the guts in the Yeti and threw on a Toxic Skinny Snake string. The play is great on the Yeti. Spins for quite some time, grinds great except for finger grinds (I have big thumbs).

So far I am loving the play, totally unique feel on the string. It may look like a plastic Chief but it doesn’t play like one. This will sound weird but it has a less refined, more beastly feel on the string. Basically exactly what you would expect from a yo-yo named for a rampaging mythological creature.

Now the big question I know people will ask: “You own both, how does it compare to the Rally?”
I can’t answer that. These are two totally unique yo-yos, constructed of totally different materials, and with completely different philosophies in how they should be constructed. I’m going o have to tap out and say they are both great. If you have $85 to spend and are looking for a decent metal you would be better served to pick up both a Rally and a Yeti instead. You will not regret it.

I could not agree with this more. I wouldn’t even know where to begin if I had to compare the Rally and the Yeti. They are both just ridiculous. ;D

Also, the spare spacers were a pleasant surprise, as I was not aware that they would be included. An awesome nod to their customers by CLYW.

Eh, a little better

Said my yeti should be delivered on the 14th

It wasn’t… Kills me having to wait another day

[SR1 (SPENCE)]

I got mine today. It’s super good, but the Rally seems a little more high quality to me.

I’m loving the Yeti though.

Did it have engravings?

[tschneider]

I got mine today, it has very little vibe, you can’t tell that it’s spinning on the string, other than the noise, which isn’t bad for a plastic. I really like it so far. ;D

Don’t remember

[burdger]

Did everyone get an extra Yeti sticker? I don’t think I did

[mgiroux77]

All of the proto’s I ever saw had the engraving… The engraving was part of the mold so it makes sense that it was always there…

No the early protos didnt have engravings as far as I can tell heres a quote from Chris.

“Again we had some without engravings that were early testers and such.  BUT it looks like I’ll be personally testing all 1000 of the first run.  Hope my arm doesn’t fall off.”

That is strange…  Hmmm  Well the ones I played at MA States all were engraved

I just assumed that they beat the heck out of them…  (They sure looked it)

I know after I saw it I was wondering how they got those on. Because they arnt really engravings are they? There on top of the rim not carved into it?

Hmmm wonder how they did that.

[Yogi_nc]

Injection Molded, So think “cast” from a mold not machined. thats how they stick out.

[saintrobyn]

Technically they are still engravings. They are engraved in to the mold and then when the plastic is pours in the logo is embossed on the rims.
