Ask @CLYWOfficial:
Hey I saw just now that Harrison plays League of Legends? Can you ask if he plays Ranked and what rank is he? Ya know, nerd stuff.
I don’t really play league of legends anymore, but when I did I made it to silver 3 and I played a lot of Gnar. -Harrison
Do you guys plan on ever making a design from the ground up for 7075 aluminium? (Did you ever make a yoyo specifically for 7075 aside from the seven summits?)
No plans. There really isn't any demand for it, and we have too much other stuff on deck. -Steve
What kind of finish do you use on the Chinese made CLYW yoyos? (like on the manatee and the peak 2) it's my favourite finish of any yoyos out there!
We just asked them for a matte finish, and when we got samples we went back and forth a bit with adjustments (more rough, more smooth, just right) until they got it where we wanted it, and then we told them to just do everything like that! We still tweak it a little here and there. As for process...no idea. I never asked. As long as the result is where I want it, I'm happy. -Steve
Can we expect a mini this year? The market for minis is boomin right now!
Still kicking some ideas around, haven't landed on anything yet. -Steve
When will the next fools gold drop be? Nothing specific, but like a time frame, 6 months? 1 year? When Petr's hair falls out?
A couple of weeks. -Steve
Is the axle on the TiPeak steel or is it also Ti? I could not find an answer one way or another. Thanks again for everything guys!
The axle is steel. -Steve
Steve, thanks for posting both the Yeti shirt and the Yogi shirt, just snagged both! Super pumped, these were some of my favorite CLYW shirts ever made!
You're totally welcome. :) -Steve
Steve when are we gonna get a mini yoyo. Campfire 2? Even a new model would do! The people need a mini!
Chris and I have been talking about it! Just need to find the time for him to design it. -Steve
Not that it makes any difference, but someone asked me recent;y, Where was the Ti Peak made? I never could find a clear answer anywhere. Again, it does not matter, I LOVE that throw. Thanks again!
It was made in China, at the same factory that Luftverk normally uses. -Steve
How do you think of the idea of JOYC? Do you think there should have comtests like that in the US as well?
I didn't see much of anything from those contests, and didn't seem like many people turned up for them? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I do think we need more "non-system" contests, that don't seed to anything else. Stand-alone stuff. That's why André and I started up the Triple Crown, but then we kept having babies and it killed our summers for too long to maintain it. Whoops.
I really would love to fire up Triple Crown again, just hard to find time. I think rebooting it as a smaller 1A-Only contest, but still doing three events per year, would be pretty awesome. Just have to work it out with André and figure out how to get it started again with our increasingly busy schedules. -Steve

Do members of CLYW typically use Tall (1.5, fat and xl) kitty string or do most of them use regular length?
Mostly regular length. -Steve
What happened to Issac? Is he okay? I noticed that he's no longer on the team and he deleted his instagram
He resigned from the team and is taking a break from yoyoing and social media. -Steve
Where can I buy that yeti shirt that hot pocket is wearing in that welcome to the team vid? Cause that shirt is fire!!! 🔥🔥🔥
We have a few left, mostly 2XL though. I'll get them counted and get them online today. -Steve
Same guy who asked the yogi Shirt question - medium or large
Got both. $8 + shipping if you want one. Email me thelodge@clyw.ca. -Steve
What's your all time favorite CLYW yoyo? Favorite all time non-CLYW yoyo?

I'm planning to invest in a DSLR for to make some short films and videos but the spec sheets look very confusing to me sometimes. What would you say are the most important aspects to look for in a DSLR for filming purposes?
Hey I've been yoyoing for almost four years , and I haven't really progressed as much as I want to. I'm going to practice as much more now since I have the tine to do so now since I'm out of school. How do I practice effectively and how do you stand out with all these great yoyoers around today? TY!
Every moves at their own speed...sometimes you just need a reboot, or a big dose of inspiration. My biggest leaps when I first started playing came from hanging out not with other yoyo players, but with other creatives in different fields. Jugglers, artists, sculptors, etc. Looking at their creations and then drawing parallels between what they were doing and what I was doing. Sometimes even just trying to approximate their creations but with a yoyo, just to see if I could get close.
Find what inspires you, inside or outside of yoyoing, and embrace it and make it your own. Also, stock up on string/bearings/pads for whatever you use the most so you never run out. -Steve

Hell yeah we do. Just tough with his work schedule. -Steve
Please tell me we'll be getting some sort of WYYC recap vid.
Not sure if Alec is working on a video, but he just gave me a ton of photos he shot at the contest and we'll have a lookbook up soon on the website. -Steve
What was the reasoning behind the Ti Peak shipping with a flat bearing? I feel like something a little more premium would have fitted better
It was designed with a lot of the original Peak's play values in mind, and shipping with a flat bearing just felt appropriate to us. Thinks like the patch, the sticker, the wood insert...these are decisions we made with "premium quality" in mind. The flat bearing? That was totally nostalgia. :) -Steve
