The original Wooly Marmot is absolutely legendary to a lot of CLYW fans, but they really stepped their game up when they decided to update it for modern play!
Working with long-time collaborator Jensen Kimmitt, the design was revamped to stay small and fun, but handle a new generation of tricks. CLYW added 1mm to the diameter, keeping that fun, undersized feel, but made it 5mm wider to give them some more options with weight distribution. Weighing in at 65.4 grams, the new Marmot weighs the same as the original, but they moved the weight in the inner hub to make this new version play fast and with more stability.
It looks a lot like the original, but they got rid of the high wall from the original in favor of a low, stepped inner wall that decreases friction and works with modern horizontal play. The result is a brand new beast that can handle anything!
aaron –
one of my all time favorite yo-yos. almost like a marmot x cascade, super floaty but stable and light. really fun but can also be used for competition. good wall for rejecting, amazing palm grinds, good finger spin. can handle pretty much anything except very fast play. wish i could give it a 6th star
