Plastic Peak CLYWxLuftverk

Despite the issues, I still think the idea behind these latest plastics from Jeff is really cool.

The Plastic Fulvia was the first release, haven’t seen issue yet with these. @jeffreypang911 did mention he was going after YoYoJam Vibes with the plastic concept.

" Early on, I wanted to replicate the feeling of older Yoyojam yoyos that had an ā€œover moldedā€ threaded nut. "

Has it only been the white ones that have the cracks? Haven’t seen other colors with a crack yet.

Edit- never mind. I see an orange and blue one above.

My 000 (white) has also cracked in the hub.

None of my plastic Peaks have. All get played and not smashed about the place.

Dang, I was just about to buy a 000 and plastic Peak too. Well……I guess not then :laughing:

The problem is that all replacements will most likely suffer from the same issue. :neutral_face:

We all wanted nipples, what can I say?

It’s cheap enough that I’m super glad to have it, and hopefully it’s just a small percentage that’ll be impacted, because I love the way it plays and the heart that went into it

I recommend that you buy one to try it and enjoy it for as long as it lasts because its game is really addictive with that old school bounce;)
And who knows if 100% of the Pleaks will end up cracking… some will remain and it could be yours!

Just checked out of curiosity and this one’s been in the case a few months untouched yet it’s cracking at the hub…

Pretty much my experience, too. Not really doing anything with it, and it’s toast. Unfortunate, too, as it is a cool throw, and I’m sure the guys put a lot of heart into it.

The plastic 000 is one of my favourite plastics, it just plays great, the pleak is great fun too. In my eyes they are an example of excellent design adaptation, and the plastic cracking is a bit worrying.

It would be awesome to see a machined polycarbonate version of these throws, I would buy them on release date even if pricier. Any chance we will see anything like that @jeffreypang911?

My white P000 (still looks fine) is going in my bag today.

Folks, you got to let them know you love them while you can. :face_holding_back_tears:

Plastic 000 has a crack…but still smooth (so far)

000 54se is my backup plan. :grin:

Yoo

Someone linked me this thread so Ill chime in here!

We have sold so many units of various plastics this year so I think so far its not insane to have 10 or 20 pcs of those defective. Since these are machined sometimes one of them are mounted wrong or theres just extra stress in the injection process. Especially the Peak it pushes the limits of what is possible with plastic.

Some people have emailed me about this - I am pretty easy about replacements since Id be pretty unhappy if my yoyo fell apart under normal use too haha. You can contact me via luftverk@gmail.com if you have issues!

Cheers and thanks : )
