Great vid! Side note @gingivere you definitely have to make an updated version of this video here

Yes. This was worth the watch. I want to see you shred with it.
Also, Terrarian was my first OD too. I vowed the day I got it to have all ODs I would ever posses be the same color (Pyramatte blue is king you cannot change my mind).
Really looking forward to the Leaf review, and I wonder if FeatherSpin’s Osprey would interest you, it is a more comp focused yoyo, or at least an homage to comp yoyos of the 2000’s, lol
Where did you get the info that the production is gonna weigh different than the prerelease?

"The Summit 2: First Draft is what we released at PNWR. Beach Glass Blue (never to be run again), sketch art engraving, flat cap Side Effects, 65 grams.
Production will be 66 grams, final artwork engraving on body, Side Effects currently not finalized."

Oh damn. Onedrops insta post said the only thing changing would be the colorways
Love that colorway. Wish they would have dropped some of the first drafts online.
If I had a nickel for every time a Summit was released in a small batch at a US contest in a real nice light blue colour, at a slightly lighter weight than the production run…

Then you’d have 5 pence! Or 10? IDK, lol. Do they call 5p nickels across the pond?
Haha I’d have 10 - I think the handful of light blue Summits originally sold back at Cal States 2013 were half a gram lighter too. I love lighter yoyos so I was bummed to miss out…here we go again

I wonder if they just like making things rare for fun.

From Steve in the CLYW discord again:
"The team ultimately decided they preferred the 1 gram heavier one, but it was after we’d already committed to production on the lighter one. We had the protos done late in the evening and it was a “decide now” moment to make sure we had yoyos in time for PNWR. I make decisions on these things quickly, the team does not.
But on advice of the team I decided for that heavier one to be the final production model. Aaron and I were the only ones who preferred the lighter model…literally everyone else wanted the heavier one."
I think CLYW/OD have done enough that you can assume the decisions are in aid of trying to make the best design, not just an attempt at artificial rarity.

It seems a little silly when this is supposed to be the whole point of having SEs. I wonder where the weight distribution was changed and I wonder if you use SEs to weight match if there is actually a noticeable difference.

or maybe it’s an even distribution, weight added everywhere lol
Thanks for the shoutout lol. Glad I could be the one to procure one for you and that you’re having fun with it.

This is what bugs me about yoyos that ship with ultralights - you can only make it heavier, not lighter

Woahh, never even thought about that but that’s a really good point.
This comment by @JTizzle brings up something I’ve thought about. With side effects we can only add or remove mass at the axle (mass that doesn’t affect the rotational inertia), so it doesn’t make sense for yoyos with SEs to be designed with very much center weight. A rim weighted yoyo can be customised to have a lot of center weight as well, which will have a large effect on feel, but a center weighted yoyo will only be able to become an extremely center weighted yoyo.
