Man just went back and read the thread on the YYD issues. If thereā€™s anything Iā€™m glad I missed in the last 14 months, itā€™s that. Hopefully the TiFHO can be purchased here on good olā€™ YYE, and for a reasonable price considering it will likely have QC issues >.>

$350 is a little steep. Was hoping a larger company could have met a better MOQ and got that down a bit. Oh well guess Iā€™ll be living vicariously through others on this one.

I appreciate the insight! Still out of my price range, but it makes a little more sense when lumping Ti in with other precious metals. I was ignorantly running under the assumptions that itā€™s just a material. An expensive material, but still just raw material. Crazy to think of it as a PM like gold, though it makes sense.

Edit: I done learnā€™t something today

Titanium is not a precious metal.

Gold, silver, and platinum are precious metals.

Iā€™m honestly content with my gravity. After all the negative press Duncan has received on this forum seems like support should I get a dud would be lack luster.

Ok, itā€™s really sweet. Feels just like my favorite Takeshi FhZ. Itā€™s light, you could almost think itā€™s plastic. Taking it through its paces Itā€™s a fine Duncan. I want to take off the aluminum caps and try it naked however Iā€™m not sure how so Iā€™ve just left it as I got it. Canā€™t say if the price point is valid because Iā€™ve spent more on less. I like it. First Ti Duncan. I think Iā€™m going to keep it around. Glad to see Duncan finally getting the wooden boxes right. I sent Hoodlum and Deth Mgs and only Dethā€™s box made it home unaltered. If youā€™ve Got the cash and the wantyness then definitely pick one up, if you can, I got this as a prize from another company for Christmas so lucky me however if you purchase one I believe you will be pleased like I am. Anyway thatā€™s all got to say concerning the Ti Freehand. Much thanks from everyone involved from design to manufacturing. Happy New Year yā€™all!!


The finish is raw and itā€™s nice.

It plays really good with the plastic caps also. The compressed air method works easy.

@yoyodoc also has a video demonstration on the compressed air technique
