I told myself that if I got at least a 3 minute sleep time off this bad boy, I’d give ol’ Duncan a lengthy review with pretty pictures and all.
It got 3:40.
Onto the review!

Play
I was blown away! It honestly plays like a YoYoRecreation. Fast, stable, spins for days, incredible for horizontal. I easily get away with 60 second combos. Side style combo, 1/4 rotation gyro flop to horizontal, combo, gyro flop it back, little more to finish it off, and strong bind. I can NOT believe that I only had to trade 2 20 dollar bills for it. It also takes rejects well too. But, as the finish shows, not the best for grinds… Really wish they would’ve blasted under the step. It’s my new favorite, above the 100 or so throws I’ve tried, and the 60 or so I’ve owned. Oh yeah, SUPER quiet! Even the one I threw at Disney (which was banged up to oblivion) was dead silent.
Finish
Finishes actually look pretty nice in person. Especially the gray, blue, and raw. I got the gray, and I love how it looks. As said, not the best for grinds. It’s a glossy finish that looks fantastic in the sun. I honestly would’ve liked it more without the engraving, but whatever works.
Bearing
Oh this konkave! Dead quiet, and dead smooth. They picked correctly.
Response
The stock duncan pads are actually pretty nice. String doesn’t try to touch the walls when pulled halfway up the string from a sleeper, but snags tight when you want it to.
String
May as well give duncan’s string it’s own little section. Mine’s been on for nearly a week and I really like it. I may even invest in some. It’s nice and bouncy when you first get it. Bright, and hold tension. Lasts pretty long too.
Price
It does NOT get better than this. Ever. $45? Pick one up. You will not regret it.
EDIT: it also fits size 2 lateral caps!
