Def need to grab one of these. With how we love to shorten names of things, I am surprised I havenât seen âSlunkâ used yet.

Iâve 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 downâŚkinda wish id kept it.
Enjoy;)

Got this guy!
Super surreal to be holding this. Itâs 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 ârockâ feeling youâd 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 donât think I understand what physical property of a yoyo (in motion) âfloatâ 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.

There are only two forces at work on a yoyo as it pertains to the force you feel pulling against your throw hand (what you perceive as âweightâ). Thatâs gravity (a constant) and centripetal force which is a function of string length and yoyo mass. Two yoyos with the same mass will exert the same force if they have the same string length. If you want a yoyo to âfeelâ lighter, i.e., have less force pulling away from your hand, then the only way to do get that short of heavily modifying the yoyo itself is to shorten your string.

Its definitely a word that people put a lot of different meanings to. For me, its generally how light/easy it feels to move / during movement.

I have an addition to this, part of my theory on yoyo feel.
The theory that I have is that your brain can interpret a yoyo as feeling lighter/heavier based on the diameter and shape, as well. Large, broad-rimmed yoyos feel like they have less inertia than they really do, because your brain estimates that theyâll have more inertia in the first place, due to the size/shape.

Clearly thatâs not really a property of the yoyo itself, and more of a manifestation of imagined/illusory forces based on oneâs own peculiar set of expectations. Yet another reason I donât find reviews helpful in the least. Pretty much anything meaningful Iâm going to learn about a yoyo, prior to trying it myself, comes from photos and specs.

Iâve mostly stopped using the term float because itâs a debate that goes back literally over a decade.
Now I use terms like hollowness or hollow feeling to describe what I used to use the term float for.
