My nicest Duncan is the Haymaker X. It is almost too nice to throw.

I still have to say my favorite is an old Jeweled Tournament. I had to refinish both the outside of both halves and the inside face of one of the halves.

I still looking at Freehands and others.

I’m sentimental…

HaymakerX is a different animal. The way it’s being made and assembled is completely different compared to our other bimetals.

We do have 2 new yo-yos coming up, similar to HaymakerX design process and assembly. 😊

I’m always hesitating to release a $100+ line, because I like to beat up my yo-yos to death, lol.

Haymaker X is just as good if not better than a lot of the “higher priced” Japanese branded bi-metals in my opinion.

I really like that you all don’t consistently drop something every week that’s high end, because when a YoYo comes out that’s on the “upper end” of the price range, you know as the end user that time, research, and energy went into it.

That being said - Haymaker X is probably my favorite Duncan, the haymaker beta is also very good 🙂

I say my favorite is definitely between grasshopper gtx and orbital gtx. The latter is less comfortable, but not enough for me to completely put it below the grasshopper gtx.

Found a factory for MG’s. Will prototype soon after all the production run I ordered.

The hardest part is anodizing. It seems very difficult to outsource. TP found a way, I’m sure we will! 🙂

Orbital is definitely not the most comfortable yoyo but it plays so amazing.
