Duncan’s original plastic Freehand ushered in a new modern era for plastic yo-yos. The original more rounded design of the plastic Freehand (FH1) hit a roadblock when the mold actually broke and Duncan was unable to produce it.
Instead Duncan took some of the plastic shapes they had acquired from the ProYo line to make a more angular and rounded shape that came to be known as the Freehand 2. It did not deliver exactly what the original Freehand did but it quickly became a favorite in its own way with features that helped distinguish it from its organic shaped brother.

Now Duncan is ready to modernize the Freehand 2 with a full aluminum build and the results are stunning! Its gap is angular and cuts straight to the bearing seat from the rim giving it more forgiving spin during string tricks, but it still keeps a pleasing rounded edge making it very comfortable to hold, catch, and throw! The inset metal caps give it a look that feels familiar but looks so polished and really high end.
Features classic engravings and special editions paying homage to great history of the Freehand line we all love.

FH2 was my first ball bearing, need to scoop one of these. Hope the PC/delrin FHs are right around the corner!

The FH2 predates that by nearly 2 decades.

Looks a bit like they took a proyo made it a bit wider and then made it aluminum. Regardless it’s a shape up my alley.

I prefer the fh1 shape but these should be strong players.
