What is the weight and texture like on the yeti?

yeah is it a good grinder? Does it play like a metal?

The pictures really donā€™t do the material justice, the black plastic looks really nice. Iā€™m not sure I tried grinding it but I canā€™t imagine it would be that great considering it was molded. As for weight and feel, it didnā€™t feel too heavy or light. It definitely feels lighter than the 68 grams it is, and plays with a nice bit of float and zippiness. Iā€™d definitely say itā€™s closer to the floaty end of the float-solid spectrum. As for playing like a metal, it definitely does. It felt to me even more like a metal than the delrins I tried that day. All in all a very great player. I wish I got to toss it around it bit more!

The Yeti I tried was a bit of a disappointment. I tried Michael Kurtiā€™s, and it had some seeeerious vibe. Like wobble. It played okay, but for $40 as retail, I would not buy one. My PSG vibed less than it, and played about the same.

I tried Maiderā€™s on Friday night. I think it might have been the same one, but it didnā€™t have any vibe that I noticed at that point. Sorry you were disappointed. I seem to be the only one thatā€™s really revved up about the Yeti more than the Rally. I found the Rally pretty underwhelming.

im super exited! Iā€™m getting both! I hope I donā€™t miss the clyw store first run!

Clyw is releasing new yoyos? What? When?

^ultimate lolz^

Ouch. That was nice

Sorry if that was a bit rude, but seriously. Taking a 30 seconds to review some of the previous posts should have answered your questions pretty quickly.

No, Mike and Maider each had their own. Andrew Garas(yoyokid8) can vouch for me, I showed him the wobble.

I thought that it might have been the same because the string seemed to me exactly the same length as the one Maider had the day before. Regardless, Iā€™m glad I got to try a vibeless one. Even with string that went up to me knee it was one fun jojo.

Did the ones you try have the engraving on the rim? Those are the latest prototypes. Not sure which one you tried. I did send Kurti some early protos.

They wonā€™t have wobble when we release them.

The last batch of testing we did was really good. Some may have minor vibe though, itā€™s a plastic after all, and this is acceptable for us. The Yeti is injection molded with no weight rings, or side caps and has the performance of a metal. Plus it is Made in Canada. Thereā€™s nothing out there like it right now.

ā€œItā€™s a box.ā€

i canā€™t wait! Any more news on date yet?

Sorry no news yet.

Seems fair enough, what really go me going was what Yuki said about it :slight_smile: I also think it has a really clean look to it! Is there any chance the colors of the Pickaxes will change at all?

ā€œThink we should open it?ā€

I can vouch. Kurtiā€™s had woblllleeeeee. Andrew Maiderā€™s had some vibe but not as much.

Again we had some without engravings that were early testers and such. BUT it looks like Iā€™ll be personally testing all 1000 of the first run. Hope my arm doesnā€™t fall off.
