YoYo Related News From Around The World
A new Cabin Tutorial from CLYW is like, I don’t know, Christmas every week or something. It’s like finding a dollar under your pillow from the tooth fairy, minus the part where you lose a tooth.
This week’s tutorial comes from Chuck. Yoyo used is the Yeti by CLYW.
Chuck just killed it with a Zerber variation. Seriously. Just roll that around in your bean for a minute. Who has Zerber variations anymore? Amazing.
Yoyo used is the Yeti.
CLYW put together a video to give people a little more insight into the assembly process for their wildly popular first plastic yoyo, the Yeti. Here we finally get a look at the trimming, sanding, and polishing that happens to each and every molded part before they make it into player’s hands…for an injection molded yoyo, there is a TON of hand-finishing work in here!
The Yeti is currently sold out at CLYW.ca, and no word on when the next run will be available.

CLYW got in the first run of their new yoyo, the Bonfire, from their anodizers and from the first pics they’ve posted it looks like a winner! An upsized version of the Campfire, this new model is a signature throw for Charles Haycock nope, we were completely wrong on that one. We’ll post specs and a release date as soon as we get full details from CLYW.
CLYW also has two new 5-panel camper hats for winter, one made of grey wool and the other made of the same black nylon used in Canada Goose parkas. We’re assuming these will probably release the same time as the Bonfire. Both of these will only be available at CLYW.ca.
Chuck! CLYW! Spaceship! Isolations!
Chuck shows off a really tricky whip trick for this week’s Cabin Tutorial. This is a real bear to hit, but totally worth the work!

Chris Mikulin is going to cry when he sees this.
This stunning new video from CLYW might well be one of the best things to happen to yoyoing this year. Absolutely beautiful work from everyone involved.

Socks and sweaters and excellent movement of the yoyo around a bevy of strings…that’s what you get in this newest Cabin Tutorial from CLYW and Charles Haycock. That’s what you get, and you’ll like it.
CLYW dropped their first email newsletter since December of last year, and it looks like their going to start putting them out more regularly. Sign up here if you haven’t already: CLYW Email List.
They dropped a new video of Chuck and Zach, filmed at Worlds and full of bangers. “August Blueprint” is 2:42 of exactly the kind of yoyoing that has made the CLYW team one of the most respected group of contest players in the past couple of years.
And CLYW dropped info on the newly redesigned Gnarwhal (currently just being called the Gnarwhal 2, but they might have a more formal “edition name” by the time it’s finally released). From their newsletter:
I felt the Gnarwhal was a perfect size and shape, but it needed an update to keep up with our new models. Adding some more rim weight would increase those spin times and make it more stable. So I revised the design and made it a hair wider, and the walls were optimized for maximum rim weight and strength.
The weight was kept around 65.5g, making it perfect for speed and nimble enough for plane breaking tricks. The catch zone is a little wider as well to make it easier to fly through tricks without having to worry about missing a string. I’m really happy with what we came up with: the Gnarwhal 2 is perfect for competition and can keep that spin going while learning those more advanced Cabin Tutorials.
Full specs and release info coming soon.

There’s always something happening in the Cabin, and this time it’s a nice slack trick from Michael Kurti, channeled through the laconic genius of Charles Haycock. Enjoy!
CLYW’s Charles Haycock dons the national garment of kendama players and breaks down a burly combo from Yuuki Spencer’s 2009 US Nationals routine. How good? So good.
