Hello all, so I was cleaning out my closet the other day and found an old Duncan Freehand that I never played with because I just could not get into it. So I thought to myself why not just put a new bearing and response pads in it to make it unresponsive? I did just that. I then started to look for mods that you could do to this yoyo. I eventually found a video from Throws And Brews that inspired me.
Here is my end result:
I must add that this thing plays like a dream. It is just really fun to play and brings a smile to my face when I do.
Neither did I. I literally bought it at Toy R Us and never played with it because I was expecting an unresponsive throw. I will say fully modified this thing plays like a whole different yoyo.
Interesting, I put the Duncan metal rings on my metal Raptor and it was quite smooth. Did you make sure the rings were inserted super tight? I bonked mine on a rubberized surface to make sure the rings were in super tight and flat.
