Wow could this year get any better?!? Movies and yoyos are my two favorite things!
Oh and $10 that Jensen uses this for his worlds freestyle.

• Augie Fash’s C3 yoyo… looking forward to seeing if it suits me at all!

• World War Z… looks nussink like the book, which is dissapoint.

Played it last week, really good and fun to throw.

Injection molded from some really strange looking plastic. Overall not so much pretty irl.

[GregP]

Agree, it’s not much of a looker:

First Look – CLYW Yeti

However, as long as it’s a player, it’ll still be a consideration. ~58mm diameter is a bit bigger than I usually play, but it’s not enormous or anything.

[patrickcondon (ＤＯＧＳ)]

Based on that texture, I’m interested in seeing how well it’ll grind.

[Noonar]

Being that it looks like it can be made fairly cheaply, hopefully there will be enough in stock for me to buy one before it sells out.

I asked chris at cal states and he said the yeti would be $25-30. But idk if hes sticking with that price

According to YoyoNews, MSRP will be $40.

[MYNAMEISZen]

Yay profile of the Chief but with a bigger diameter!!!

[SaltySalvador]

Oh dang. Reminds me of the Chief.

Hey, that’s still a good price considering that The V by Something is 50 bucks.

@SaltySalvador

Oh dang. Reminds me of the Chief.

if you read the thing on YoyoNews it says Chris used the profile of the chief just in a bigger diameter

So guys what you think about it?

So guys what you think about it?

I’m really looking forward to it. I would love a big floaty plastic, and it looks promising. Heck, even if the float isn’t there, the thing looks like a monster (Haha. Yeti. Monster. Get it?). I love how determined Chris was to get it right. It doesn’t matter what he had to go through to find the material or figure out the process , he stuck with it to bring us something new and innovative. Just on that premise alone, I’d love to pick one up and show my appreciation for his efforts. Obviously this hard work will be reflected in the price tag, and I was hoping it would be closer to $30, but what can you do.

Oh! And I LOVE the black. ;D

At 68g of solid plastic, I’m not banking on a contender for “floaty”. However, it’s a unique entry in the plastics market, and I’m keen to find out how people like it! (alas, it will probably sell out before I get valuable feedback, but that’s life)

If Yuuki feels it’s the best plastic he’s ever played, I’m sure it’s no slouch.

Perhaps we’ll get some good feedback from those who try it at BAC this weekend! That way you have something to ponder until July rolls around

Personally, I love the way it looks. Looks nice. Classy, and understated. I like it. 8)

[abby1371]

I am thinking about getting one if the price isn’t ridcoulous.

[SkyHighYo]

Not digging the look of the material, but everything else looks pretty legit

[RedTwo]

As huge a CLYW fan as i am, i think i’m a bit disappointed with the look of the yoyo and the material :P. Those giant hubs are the biggest turn-off of mine, i’m fine with CLYW’s hubs on their metal yoyos, i think they look really cool but this one… not so much. i don’t know but overally it gives me that… cheap vibe? But i think Chris designed it that way for a reason. Anyway Yuuki praised the yoyo so i guess it must plays really well.
