The new Duncan Rapid Ball is a fun new counterweight design from Duncan. It is a textured round plastic ball with a string groove around the outside and a hole through the middle. Attach the string by securing it around the string groove or looping it through the hole like a traditional counterweight.
The new Duncan Double Dice is an innovative take on 5A play. It is a two piece counterweight with one smaller cube fitting inside the larger dice shell. The smaller piece is free moving and can slide along the string independently to add a creative new element to your 5A tricks.
I believe there was a skilled double dice player that got a signature yoyo and he had a promo video. I can’t remember the player or company though, but the yoyo was sold on YYE
I believe this is the yoyo and video I was thinking of. It was not Diamont Noir, but that company was run by the same player
I remember the YYE description mentioned it was designed with 5a and double dice play(or it at least mentioned double dice) in mind but I don’t think that page exists anymore
There’s a brief description of each diamont noir model we carried in the old blog post here:
They were really nice yo-yos designed primarily for 5A. The one that sticks out in my mind the most was the Celestial 2.0 - That thing was soooo heavy (76g), but it really didn’t have that overly heavy feel in play.
