So I’ve been looking at perhaps getting one of Doc’s “The Weekender”. I’m looking for a responsive throw that I can carry around back and forth to work and work on my string tricks (still learning). Maybe a jack of all trades, master of none that will do a little bit of everything. Was curious what you all would recommend??? (I like having options plus I like to pull the greater communities expansive knowledge) Let me know what you all think. Thank you all in advance for your input/knowledge in helping me make an “informed” decision!! ---

Duncan had tapped into something unique. Although the why was not fully understood, everybody recognized it: the Freehand was special. In addition to... FH1 is my rec. Never tried a weekender so I don’t know but cannot really go wrong w FH1 like beloved by all yoyo players for a reason. ---

I love my Weekender (the newer style with the FS center. That said, it is a small bearing. In my hands it is capable of “most” of my basic string tricks BUT not a TON of spin time - so no long combos are long string tricks. Not sure how new and/or good you are at throwing - so wanted to toss that out there. Another to consider as well is the Thing - there’s a Doc Pop Version. It’s a half-spec C. It’s also a poly yoyo instead of a metal yoyo if that matters you. Both are great throws - you can’t go wrong with either in my opinion. I’m sure there are plenty of other options out there as well - but I love those 2. My Workhorse is a jack of all, master of none as well - but those aren’t readily available - you would have to search BSTs, etc. I’m also carrying around a Duncan Freehand One which is a blast. ---

A good freehand one setup for responsive might not be a bad option too. I didn’t think of that. Inexpensive and easy to replace! ---

Weekenders and PLTPS are in stock @DocPop 's shop, so thats an easy choice. If you like hunting the BST I would like to give the YYF Confusion a recommendation, there were a few runs and you could probably find a cheap one these days. ![20190226_103505](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/3/2/3/3230a46fd570b7a14c9f9541825e4bd32fdd3588.jpeg) ---

Thank you. I will have to have a look as well at that!
