What did you get in the mail for 2020/2021?

Whoa that thing looks awesome! The colors and splashes remind me of an old Variflex skateboard I had way back when.

Big :+1: to @AKYOYOMIKE

Spinning it looks phenomenal - light purplish but I can see splashes of red and the blue.

Courtesy of @TheThrowingGnome. The Auldey yo was a throw in. I initially had a wtf moment as I caught my first glimpse of it while opening and then when I saw the side caps, it was an “oh, yeah” moment. Been wanting an Author and Komodo for some time, so it made sense to package deal. Dude also threw in a pack of Knot Bad strings.

Def need to grab one of these. With how we love to shorten names of things, I am surprised I haven’t seen “Slunk” used yet.

I’ve been a huge fan of CLYW since I started throwing and to finally get my hands on the elusive peak, the one that started it all. Mad props to @dizzo

I sold it because I felt it had a little vibe.
After you bought it, I flipped the bearing upside down…kinda wish id kept it.
Enjoy;)

Got this guy!

Super surreal to be holding this. It’s the beanie from Will over at ThrowingSideways. I had the opportunity to work with him and design this yoyo for him, and it came out so so so so good. Speed and power are 1 with this guy. It has a lot of speed and a bit of float, with a great amount of spin time and stability without that heavy “rock” feeling you’d get from more powerful throws. Specs are 57x47mm, 4.45 gap width, 65 grams, and 6061 aluminum. I made a little first impressions/unboxing for it with my girlfriend here:

I don’t think I understand what physical property of a yoyo (in motion) “float” is meant to refer to.

How light it feels at the end of the string maybe?

Probably. I have several yoyos of the same weight and some of them FEEL lighter when in play.
