This looks veeeeeery nice! I love the FHZ and it looks to me like it’s just a metal version, or at least very similar. Definitely going to try and get one. ---

Looking forward to seeing what colors these come in! They didn’t make the Freehand AL with swapping caps in mind…but if they did there was a TON of color combos available at the time of launch! > [@Here's all of the Freehand AL Color Combos!](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/heres-all-of-the-freehand-al-color-combos/318447): > > Thought this might be helpful!

Most definitely, I can’t have enough Duncan Organics, the Original AL Freehand is a favorite, though consider to be on the heavier side at 70g with caps; ![20190728_142909](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/c/a/0/ca08631faae4322936b68104fbeda871286a1ac2.jpeg) ![20190728_142838](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/a/e/3/ae338e0e1786d3219d6baecacbb1382dcd0d9a92.jpeg) ---

I always liked the look of those but the thought of the weight put me off. Although, it’s not much heavier than a YWET, and I love those. Similar shape too. ---

Any of you own the original Freehand 1? I was lucky to own a couple! Some cool guy on the(yo)dotcom forums found some at a college bookshop in the early 2000’s and he totally sold me 2 of them for what he paid. $18 each (I think his user name was Geeb or something). Ended up keeping one and giving the other to another friend on the forums (Kobun I think was his name) (we did a big trade where he downloaded a crap ton of videos and burned them on to a bunch of cdroms for me (lol I had dial-up back in those dark ages) and I sent him a bunch of throws in return). Fun times! I have nothing but fond memories of those forums! Me and Kobun (Kobot maybe?) were often so hyper and goofy AF lol. We had so much fun in the live chat 😃. ---

The future of Freehand is looking really good. This Freehand ONE AL is the start. Answering some future questions now… - Will there be any Size A bearing in the future? The answer is YES. - Will there be any Organic plastic FH in the future? The answer is YES. But let’s enjoy this FH1 AL first because it’s D B.E.S.T. Happy Holidays! ---
