Fantastic, thanks!

Also, I’m imploring you, do a release of clear anodized/blasted. I LOVE the way raw yoyos look, but yeah they’re problematic and get damaged easily. Nobody does raw-like anodizing and I don’t know why!

I can’t decide between gold or clear for the solid color quakes.

I think a spicy mustard quake might look sweet! ;D

Or, heck, we can go all out and call it a banana pudding milk quake! 😛

If your using Gruntbull that’s the most beautiful gold I’ve ever seen. Just check out CLYWs instagram for the blasted Gold BvM2s and look up the gold unblasted Ava’s Chris did they are amazing. So yes gold please.

What’s your favorite colorway at this time? Also what do you prefer out of stuff like fades, acid wash, splashes, and speckle?

Nope 🙂

It was available to be tried at Ohio states and will be available to be tested at worlds.

Pics won’t be released until the production is ready 🙂

Do you feel your yoyo designs are improving with time or are they just different flavors that taste just as good?  
If you had to suggest one of your yoyos to a consumer (including the upcoming quake and without knowing their preference), what would it be? What about a yoyo of another brand (a yoyo that you think everyone should have)?

I liked it a lot.

I was the guy who after trying the yoyo, told Jake that I would buy it if it went into production.

I wouldn’t say they are improving. All different and all would be enjoyed today as new releases.

I would suggest the triton to anyone as one if the top yoyos on the market. I think most people will like it regardless of preference.

A non G2 yoyo that needs to be owned is a FHZ
