Ben just reminded me of something I’ve been meaning to ask about the Freehand product line.
When Steve was inventing 5A, was he using a responsive yoyo? Were responsive yoyos the norm for 5A play originally?

Steve came up with it in 1999 using a Team Losi Cherry Bomb: Styles Of Play | YoYo Wiki | Fandom
I don’t think unresponsive yoyos existed then except by accident.

Makes sense, here’s a noob question how do I mod it unresponsive? I’m guessing Duncan makes a kit?
Edit: Found the spacer kit 
I’ve got a clear FHZ if anyone is needing a clear yoyo to paint.
Silicone recess and cleaning the stock bearing will net you a fully unresponsive FH1 if you don’t want to buy the kit.

For unresponsive I play with one response pad. So far so good!

Damn down to 3 white and 8 clear on yoyoexpert. How many was there originally?
I’m gonna try this thank you! Trying to keep it as OG and oldschool as possible

When I got on at like 6:10 there were around 70 clear and 60 white so I’m guessing maybe around 100 each but I’m not sure

Crazy how popular White is. There are only 4 more left at the other store, they could possibly be all sold out by the 24 hour drop mark for the run. Maybe the dyers have been scooping multiples.

My first Yoyo mod was to make the white all white. Looks super crisp. Shoutout to @Yooo for the tip to remove the graphics from the caps. I think want to keep this one all white so I guess I just have to buy a few more to get goofy with plastic dyes.

Nice man!! That looks awesome! I’m going to have to do this once I get a white capped fh1. They look so clean.
