It’s called the MentasM. I went to a Duncan Demonstration at a local Toys-R-Us and i got to use this new prototype. The one i used was all black, virtually no hubs, and a wide, rounded shape. It is also undersized. very similar size to and 888. except a little thinner. I didn’t get to use it a whole lot, (less than an hour). but man, it was a beast. It was the smoothest yo i have ever thrown. (smoother than a 888, luchador, Bvm, peak, hectic, pretty much anything). when grinding, I could barely even feel it on my hand. It also had a good amount of weight to it, so it wasn’t a very fast yoyo,( but it wasn’t slow). I personally prefered this over to the 888. It looks like Duncan is making a move into the high-doller aluminum yoyo business. And at suspected price of only $80. it’s something most people can afford. I was told it’s coming out in August, most likely at worlds. You guys should definantly pick one up… you will not be disappointed ---

Seems very cool. Undersized is not my thing though. ---

No offense to anyone who likes them but to me it’s friction stickers ftf (for the fail) because they wear out too quick. I agree, I have the duncan Metal Zero, and I had to spend lots of money of friction stickers. Luckily now I have the 888, which uses silicone! ---

It utilizes new duncan Silicone stickers (which last a long time) with a deep dual recess… very nice binds and dead unresponsive I agree… i HATE friction stickers… i didn’t inspect it closely… but it may have been deep enough for silicone ---

For the friction stickers thing they are a good response you just have to know which ones to buy. ---
