Duncan had tapped into something unique. Although the why was not fully understood, everybody recognized it: the Freehand was special. In addition to launching a new style of play, the Freehand’s shape, aesthetics, and feel made it into an instant classic. Over the years Duncan has explored many different designs emphasizing various elements of the original, but with different materials and shapes. And now the FH1 shape has been rebuilt in an amazing all in one [polycarbonate design](https://shop.yoyoexpert.com/collections/new-releases/products/freehand-pc-polycarbonate-yoyo)!

Being able to precisely cut the Freehand shape and caps produces a very special edition of the Freehand shape we know and love. Also not limited by the mold of the smaller bearing this machined polycarbonate version features a large Size C bearing for completely unresponsive play. It really can handle any and everything you throw at it! Available in some of the most beautiful translucent colors we have ever seen.

To anyone that’s played both, which would you prefer if you had to choose and why? I’m leaning towards the delrin ---

I love both, the translucent polycarb is really gorgeous, but i also love the simple clean look of the delrin model (no markings on caps). 😅 oh boy guessing poly is louder than delrin. would be really cool if they included a matching counter weight in the same material/color. ---

Duncan Freehand Frenzy. I just got my mini FH1 in the mail today and now this. I wonder if the caps can be changed with the OGs Delrins and Polys. Would be some sick patchwerk. ---

Not gonna lie, I kinda hoped these would be slightly more affordable. I’m sure the price is reasonable for what it is but I just hoped, with the aluminum being $60, they would be closer to the $40 range. Oh well, here 💸 just take it all ---

POM/PC is so expensive it’s close to bi-metal costing. Not just that, we are talking about two components, and a lot of bgrades 😊. This was supposedly around $64.99 but we took the loss to make it more reasonable to purchase. ---

Understandable when the machine cost make up the majority and not the material. I remember people getting mad at how much crucial charged for their delrin throws. ---
