Duncan Presents: Imperial AL!

Duncan-Metal-Imperial-Featured

Experience the joy of a classic throw with the all-new Duncan Aluminum Imperial! Feel the weight of the yo-yo as it leaves your hand, the humming as it descends to the bottom of the string, and the satisfying thud when it returns to your palm.

The Aluminum Imperial brings the spirit of the original Duncan Imperial to a modernized top with a sleek look and slightly flared gap. It’s a long-spinning ball-bearing yo-yo that you can play however you want - old-school flavor and string-trick ripping are just a few of the possibilities.

Throw-back and throw down with the Aluminum Imperial!

I can testify that it feels exceptionally comfortable in hand.

Don’t let the raised edges give you a misperception. Its smooth AF.

Agreed. Such a cool feeling yoyo. One of my favorite metal responsives

So cool, just no way I’d pay that price for an imperial.

Does this come set up responsive?

Responsive.

Havnt swapped anything out yet. Or played it in nearly a month.

You know, February is what it is.

It comes responsive and has a good amout of snappy sensitivity, and it can loop. However its 62g of heft also give it some spin time. This would have been an old demonstrator’s dream machine for doing Split the Atom repeaters.

When the lube runs dry, I’ll let it get unresponsive.
