I have really been digging Duncan’s right now. The Barracuda slays and I will probably use it for Competitions. Really love it. Definitely a top player. ---

Thanks to your title, I have ‘Whitesnake - Is This Love’ stuck in my head. NOOOO!! ;D One of the biggest surprises this year has been the Torque. So good for less than $50! I grew up on Duncan, so it is very cool they are releasing some really good stuff the last two years. ---

The Torque is amazing for the price, the Triumph looks like it’ll be great but a bit spendy. I still haven’t tried a Barracuda. ---

Triumph and Barracuda will be around same price, depending on retailers. But, my personal favorite (for 1A, that is, 3A favorite is the Triumph) is the Bassacuda, Sebby’s signature. Save your money for that. You won’t regret it. ---

> [@funkymonkey2956](#): > > I will be going to the Downtown Disney Duncan cart sometime soon. Do they let u try out the yoyos there? If so, what should I try/buy? I visited the Duncan Cart the day after the Torque came out. The guys at the booth were very helpful and supportive and I was able to try out the Torque before I decided to purchase it. They also help me with some of my problems (I have many) and demonstrated a couple of tricks I wanted to learn. I will be going back in December and you can be sure I will be visiting and questioning again. ---

The Strix was kind of disappointing, but I really liked the Echo 2 and Torque. The Barracuda is definitely one of the best yoyos they’ve produced. One of their models that never get the recognition it deserves is the Magnetude. You know, the one with the magnetic spinning caps? It’s so ridiculously fun. I always throw a hard sleeper than stick it to fridges, metals doors, hand rails, whatever. ---

You know, the one with the magnetic spinning caps? It’s so ridiculously fun. I always throw a hard sleeper than stick it to fridges, metals doors, hand rails, whatever. I hate the Magnetude. It needs way more win weight, and the stack glue was always chipping into the bearings. ---

Torque and Barracuda are definitely some of my favorite throws, period. But that’s it. Duncan should’ve been making models like this from the start lol. ---

But, my personal favorite (for 1A, that is, 3A favorite is the Triumph) is the Bassacuda, Sebby’s signature. Save your money for that. You won’t regret it. Got to throw his personal one at GA States. So solid and so good.
