Yes, it’s has the Dune vibe and was the prototype of sorts for the Dune. I am missing a bi-metal Bham. I should do something about that. ---

BiHam and Akita. Wildfire is excellent, but probably too similar to some other bimetals I have. ---

Yeah, I often have that same problem. It’s the snow tires, they have a lot of surface compared to 19mm pads. Snow tires come in some different hardness levels, try some aquas. They have also started shipping a pad they call summer tires in some yoyos, I think maybe in the latest iteration of dunes. They are designed to be less grabby. I keep hoping to see them available separately. Sometimes thinner string is enough to avoid changing the response. I prefer Markmont’s draken, night moves or cirrus foam in most of my clyw that still have snow tires. I usually just silicone my problematic clyw. I can make sure its nice and recessed, and they are easy to do with that fat response groove. Clyw play best for me this way, especially the wildfire. I tried different strings, different bearings, different pads and I never felt like it played up to its potential. Then I siliconed it, and it woke right up. ---

The Akita is my favorite Chinese clyw, followed by the biham. Peak2 and bear trap are really fun too. I haven’t tried the boy yet. ---

If you can find Sōchí or Snow Tires in blue those are less grippy. Also changing the string to something more slick or thin can help reduce the friction, as well as a center track, concave, or any similar bearing if you’re using a flat bearing. Any bearing that fully centers the string is the best for CLYW throws. ---

I’d been wondering about the sochi, but had gathered that sochi tends towards the grippy end of response. ---
