I bought a Duncan freehand the other day and after playing with it and doing some research I’ve come to find out that the freehand pro is unresponsive. Is the basic freehand upgradeable to play unresponsive? If so what do I need to upgrade it.

Most any yoyo can be made unresponsive by cleaning the bearing and either lubing VERY lightly or not at all. You can turn it into a FH pro by replacing the bearing with a Size C (.250 x .500 x .187) bearing. I believe the description for the basic FH is wrong in describing the bearing size.
