That looks complex… Why 2 counter weights? I’m assuming there are tricks that utilize a sliding weight? Now I have to go look on the tube. kgb ---

It’s a derivation of the 5A style, it’s called “double dice” … and Iskandar Shah was one of the major exponents [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/a/c/2/ac22b8b9d13f1f621b2f274d755746fc19a6640b.jpeg "5A Double Dice- Iskandar Shah") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sl6oYnszpVI) ---

Did you sand the surfaces, or is it just normal wear from lots of play? (I’m planning to sand down my blue FH Pro to give it a matte finish.) ---

Astute observation! I did indeed sand the surface of it down! I used 800 grit sandpaper. Just remember to not sand close the bearing seat and leave that part smooth. This will help with string wear and tear. ---
