Duncan - FreehandWhether it's your first yo-yo or the first one you've picked up in a long time, the Freehand is THE classic beginner yo-yo.The legendary Freehand has gotten refined to make a comeback. The Freehand was designed especially for a style known as String Tricks, where you mount the yo-yo on the string while you manipulate it. The body is a little large, to give it plenty of spin and stability; even a weak throw should give a reasonable sleep time. The response area has something called a "low edge," which means the string is kept away from the body to avoid any friction that could slow down the yo-yo. The Freehand has a pedigree that reaches way back in yo-yo history, and this version is proof of the continuous improvement Duncan has made to the design over the years.Pull it out of the box and start playing; the Freehand is designed to handle much more difficult tricks than the basics, so it makes a good yo-yo for someone looking to level up as well. If you used to play, you'll feel comfortable and powerful with a Freehand in your palm.The Freehand comes loaded with a slightly thin Size C- bearing, and some thicker response pads, the perfect set-up for more responsive play. By switching these out for a standard Size C bearing and regular thickness pads, you can upgrade your Freehand to a bind response setting.
