CLYW…. Speechless
Posted by Dr. Yo-Yo in News, Sneak Peeks on June 2nd, 2009
CLYW was hooked up with the Anodizer Justin (Vendetta) used for his Dert. Using the same technique as the M1 mentioned earlier, and the Eli Dert mentioned in the comments section, CLYW…. well, I am speechless. Just look at the pretty pictures. These are from the CLYW Blog, a frequent read if you love the “Yo”.

No word on release or price. I know that this type of annodizing is really expensive, so expect to pay a premium. I nearly fell out of my chair when seeing this. It is like the Jupiter of YoYo’s!

Nicks Balls - Full of Counterweight Flavor
Posted by Dr. Yo-Yo in Sneak Peeks on May 19th, 2009
(Picture by Chris “Dr. Yo-Yo” Allen)
What we have here are 11 grams of delicious delrin flavor. Nick debuted these last year, and have been rocking them out ever since. I just wanted to share my favorite counterweight. The delrin is extremely durable, I dragged one behind me or a few hours on concrete and even “Hammer of Thor’ed” it into the ground without cracking it. Lets see you do that with a Duncan Die more then a few times. Another bonus, if you want to dye it, no problem! If you like the firmness of a Duncan Die but want the cornerlessness (is that even a word?) of a bouncy, then you will love Nicks Balls.
More info and a Vid of Nicks Balls in action after the jump
