"Duncan - Freehand One
The famous model of the past has been revived with modern specifications and production methods.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Freehand is an indispensable model in the history of yo-yos, created the foundation of today's string trick yo-yos. This version is a revival of the old school flavor, with more modern specifications.
Originally created and released in 2001, the Freehand has been constantly subjected to the waves of change that have come since then, including mold breakage, metallization, a variety of variant shapes, and changes in response standards, but the Freehand lineage has survived through the years.
This model is the first version since the FH Zero released in 2004 that aims to reproduce the original Freehand in terms of size balance as it was back then. Faithful to the original means the inclusion of side caps, the classical round shape, as well as size A bearings and even compatibility with friction stickers!
However, because friction stickers have been discontinued, it's not possible to use them long-term, so Freehand One is compatible with the standard small pads being produced today.
The standard setting is tug-response, and by degreasing and cleaning, they can be changed to a bind setting, and you can enjoy the same feel as they were back in the day. One of the points that we hope will surprise former Freehand players is the fact that the feel of those days has been faithfully reproduced, despite the change in pad size.
This yo-yo is a gem of perfection that can be used as a beginner's yo-yo, as well as a yo-yo for core yo-yo fans to enjoy the feel of those days once again.
Includes one Duncan die for counterweight (5A) play, and 1 set of friction sticker size pads."
