The guys manning the booth are very helpful and instructive. I bought a Torque there and am very happy with it. Do stop, even only to ask questions, you will be glad you did.

The best solution is to see what they have in your price range and then try them to see what YOU like.

Is it possible to try them? I thought duncans are packed in those impossible to open packages, and how would you put em back?

Pretty sure they have demo units and if not I bet they have their own throw that they’d let you try.

I tried it and I didn’t think they were very great for finger spins. I was there about 2 weeks ago and got a strix! Just ask to try different ones and see which is your favorite! (I think the strix was 62 dollars for me)

My favorite Duncan is the Metropolis, too bad its discontinued, and even worse I messed up the axle seat, so its like a forever stripped axle.

Honestly they are all fun yoyos, the mosquito is fuN when you wanna do the classic tricks on a responsive yoo, profly and butterfly are both good fixed axle yoyos, I like them for stalls
