First Look – CLYW Puffin

By

The third iteration of the CLYW Puffin, signature model for Icelandic champ Palli Gudmundsson, will be available at YoYoExpert on November 9th! There was initially a small release at the 2017 World YoYo Contest in Iceland, but this is the first full production release of this new design.

From CLYW:

OFFICIAL RETAIL RELEASE DATE:
NORTH AMERICA – THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 9 / 10 PM EDT / 7 PM PDT
JAPAN – FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 10TH, 11 AM JST
EUROPE – FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 10TH, 4 AM CEST

The Puffin is the newest signature model for Icelandic champ Palli Gudmundsson!

The evolution of the Puffin has matched Palli’s growth as a player. Always a wide return top to help Palli land his most difficult and acrobatic tricks, the newest version of the Puffin is the result of several years of conversations and refinement as Palli honed in on exactly what he needs on stage. The result is one of our most daring monometal designs, with a ton of rim weight pushed to the edge by an undercut that was intensely difficult to pull off.

The result is a truly unique return top that speaks to Palli’s skill, daring, and innovation as a player while still delivering a degree of familiarity that lets you know you’re throwing something from CLYW. We’re very proud of this design, and can’t wait to see what you do with it!

The new Puffin hits YoYoExpert on November 9th at 10pm EDT in all colors. Check out full specs and more photos below!

DIAMETER – 54 MM
WIDTH – 46.9 MM
WEIGHT – 66.25 GRAMS

The week yoyoing.ru spent at EYYC 2017 could not be complete without visiting the very heart of European yo-yo scene, Prague – as the essential visit to the SLUSNY store could not be complete without buying a new throw. We decided to try the Yeti 2.0 by CLYW, an outstanding plastic – and shoot some tricks at the legendary Prague Castle. Music for the video was provided by our dearest teammate Igor Chibisov. Player: Ivan Maslin Yo-yo: Yeti 2.0 от CLYW Strings: Yellow Tall Normal Kitty Strings Music: Cutte – All Night Camera: GoPro Hero4 Black Edit: Mark Artsruni

Ivan Maslin is an absolute joy to watch in this new video from Yoyoing.ru. Crazy good!

Alann Hotpocket Herrera Joins CLYW

Alann Hotpocket Herrera CLYW

Congrats to Alann Herrera on picking up a sponsorship from CLYW, and congrats to CLYW on adding another amazing person to their team!

Alann “Hotpocket” Herrera is a low-key genius with return tops, a hell of photographer, and a solid dude to just hang out with. While some people struggle to reach the top of the competitive game, Alann focuses on playing for the sheer joy of creating and smoothing out tricks that look and feel good.

If you spot him at a contest, you’re most likely to find him sipping a cold orange cream soda at the side of the stage, camera in hand, snapping the photos that will frame your memories of the day. We love this dude, and we love giving him a greater platform for his smooth tricks, dry humor, and gorgeous photography.

Welcome to the family, Hotpocket!
