Looks like a nice top.  Hope they follow through.

Well hello there Jeromy, first post I've seen of yours in a while :D

Looks like a brass tip...  interesting  :)

Wonder what the DT stands for?
Double tip?  The crown is recessed in the center for some purpose...

Yes, the DT stands for double tip.

With the weight ring, that would be a Gates top, notwithstanding what the crown says.
Two or three years ago, YYJ made a run of Gates bodies, using the old molds. They did not make new tips (I believe the molds for the tips are missing or have a problem).  But at worlds they had a few to show (but not for sale) that had vintage tips (yothomas was lucky enough to get to keep one). 

Last year at worlds somebody approached the group of top spinners on the main hall offering one identical to that on the photograph (including the color and the writing), except that it had a regular YYJ tip.  The Earl had loads of cash in his pocket, so he grabbed it, but I immediately traded it for a Topdog plus cash. At the time I thought it was from the early days, with a very unusual color, but now I think it was from that recent run.  I added a spare tip to the crown.

So I wouldn't get my hopes too high.  That top may be somebody getting hold of one of the bodies and making a custom tip for it.

Ha ha!  Me with a load of cash.  But I had not bought anything at that point and I felt like I should go home with something.  Then I saw ta0's eyes as wide as saucers.  I certainly did not want to make a grown man cry!

If I see ta0 looking at one of these at worlds this summer I will swoop in and buy it before him.  Then I will see if I can get it to the great trompillo and his gang.  You will have to excuse the moisture on the top.  That will be from ta0's tears.

I used one of Ben Conde's Bulldog DT's when I stayed at his house. I can only hope they come out with a new line.

I offer to buy their mold about once a month. I think they like depriving us top players of joy. I wish I had never played a YYJ Gates. It's like giving someone a big ol' shot of heroin and then letting them know that it was the last shot of heroin on earth.

My sentiments exactly they are one of the finest tops I have ever had my hands on.
Neff I visit the form about once a day and read all of the gossip, but I don't have much to add usually. ( I may post some thing soon we shall see)  >:D
