All I use is Duncan Dice. Shannon Cubes are also great, not sure if J-Spinn is still making them though.

For the DM a good one is a Duncan Die. For a advanced metal, I like spintops.

It is not worth the money to ship them, if you go to any big competitions you can get spintops and dies come with Duncan yoyo’s

Heads are just as good, pretty much all Duncan CW are the same, it’s just the die is symmetrical and feels better to use.

Then get two normal sized dice and drill holes in them, those will be better for you.

I would recomond you not to use the Duncan ball CW…if you get used to the normal dice (duncan) its way better. But I make CW for myself…
