Plus if you want faster response from them, sometimes it just better to try and contact one of their main players if you have a quick question. And for their “patent” on 5A, that’s just business. They hold the rights to restrict it and have every legal right to enforce those rights. well at least they should do it properly then, they basically RUIN the CW business while in the same time their offer is close to none. I’ve owned a business, believe me, I know what business is If you had a design patent that you were making money off of and some started to use it to their advantage w/o permission, wouldn’t you enforce it? I know I would. No one cries when YYJ enforces their patent for putting a heavier material on the rims of a yoyo, why should it be any different w/ Duncan? I won’t even bother replying to that one, if you’re really considering YYJ patent on rims similar to Duncan patent on 5A (which is a WHOLE STYLE) there’s nothing I can write to help > > I don’t need to convince anyone actually, the guy asks for a good throw for under $25, a standard FHZ costs that price and plays like garbage, only worse. So if the guy has to spend actual money and take time to learn and get the mod done, only to end up with a half decent plastic throw, and that is if he doesn’t ruin it directly in the process, so be it. > > I’ve been fooled by the “FHZ is da bomb” talk, I’ve played waaay better yoyo that are actually cheaper. > > but really, I don’t know what makes you say duncan = love cause they’re pretty much doing all the stuff people are saying YYF does, and then some more, while YYF actually does give a lot of love to the community. But I guess the “duncan= love” is pretty much the same bandwagon as the “I h8 YYF” one: people who just say the same as others just to be a part of a group and feel better bout themselves. I could go on but there are things I’m not at liberty to discuss. > > it’s been almost 5 months we didn’t hear about Duncan, actually we NEVER heard about them and never got any reply while other manufacturers were already sending us free yoyos to review, shops were sending yoyos for contests, but no, these “lovin” duncan didn’t even bother to send an email reply. > > but yea, tell the guy, get a FHZ, spend hours and more $$$ modding it and you’ll end up with a half decent $50 throw, while he could just get a starlite and basically call it a day for a about $15, chances being, the starlite will probably even out play the modded FHZ in the end. > > Well, all is said on my part, not going back on this topic > > why don’t you offer to buy the FHZ off the OP if he doesn’t like it? I’m confident enough that if he buys a “One” with a wide bearing and doesn’t like it, to say that I’ll get it off his hands for the price he paid. Heck I’m even willing to send over a C size concave for just the price of posting, and then buy the throw back if he doesn’t like it. I have both FHZ and One, there’s one that I play and the other that I ended up giving away because it was taking room… nuff said. > > to the OP → mp if you’re interested by my offer > > the thing with the “one” is that most people didn’t have the chance to try it yet as it’s not officially released, once it’ll be, it’ll make the LynFury and other “famous” beginner throws basically outdated. it’s even design to teach basic modding and maintenance. > > PS: if you throw chinese yoyos in the balance it’s not even funny anymore You sir take yoyoing way too seriously. I will state that I have two fh0’s that I love and they are not modded at all. Took one pad out and played. Just because you don’t like em doesn’t mean he won’t. I mean it’s obvious that there are a TON of yoyoers that will disagree with you. I know of at least 100 or more. Please state that this is a preference. Also just because they didn’t get back to you means nothing. They are a big business. Deal with it. Maybe it’s because they have seen you rag on the fh0 before and want nothing to do with you. Maybe it’s your fault they didn’t contact you. Why would they send you a yoyo to review when they have one of the biggest teams on the planet to do that for them? You have a lot of hate in you. put yourself in their shoes for a minute. Lets say you are the person to contact for duncan and you get 3-400 emails a year on wanting to do reviews for them. Would you get to the point of just deleting them? I know I would. Just think before you down a company that started it all. ---

FHZ is great once it’s broken in. Until then it is a a turd. But if you are going from beginner up by the time you’ve advanced so has your FHZ. I like the flying squirrel. If you use one sticker it rocks, it even has a tiny starburst under where the response stickers go. If you have one silicon recessed it will give you a bit more gap and will help with unresponsive play. If your still looking for $25 yoyos responsive is probably a good thing. I agree with some of your rant but I think your view is not to the perspective of the big picture. BTW I’m still looking for a diamond CW. ---

One by yoyofactory is good. Replacing the bearing is recommended though. ---

well, I said I wouldn’t reply, and here I am so about the “child sized book” that’s me, I always post extensive messages I just like writing and it makes me work on my english so I don’t write much because I care that much bout the topic, more because I care about writing and just enjoy writing. I’m not saying you shouldn’t like the FHZ, but objectively, it’s too expensive regarding it’s overall performance. mine had a KK and one pad left, it didn’t really make it in a good yoyo, it still had less spin time, less stability and was less fun to play than a “One” with just a regular, flat C bearing, let alone a KK. the question is our favorite, under $25 plastic. mine is the one because to me, it has the VERY best price/performance ratio, you can use it for master level tricks and rather long combos, and the FHZ doesn’t work for me on these areas. so I assume, since I throw the same with both, that the “one” offers better performance and it’s half the price. Considering that, I think the Lyn and FHZ are just, simply outdated. How old are they? ---

> [@hadoq](#): > > Well try a “one” with a wide bearing and get back to me on this one after that Ok, ok. So I got my YYF One, I played it stock (only to be fair, if we are comparing it to a stock FHZ) and it just as responsive. It comes w/ a slim C bearing and has a gap the size of a looping yoyo. So I through a freshly cleaned/dry full sized C in it and it was still kind of grabby. I think I’ll just stick w/ my FHZ’s…but I am happy I picked up the One for the fact that my $10 went to the Japan Red Cross. _EDIT_ Oops, I deleted my old comments from last week…its going to be a long day 😃 ---
