It was hard to decide cuz i love orbital gtx and haymaker x but i been throwing my grasshopper gtx i got 2 months ago its probably the best a bit bettet then the orbital gtx it has so much power. Now i know why they made a big deal about it i been throwing it more and its my main throw ---

So apparently the red pads are competition pads. That have a very short life span. Maybe a couple weeks (MAYBE). just from my experience. I changed them out for whites and my freehand 1 feels nice again. Before it would slip out of every bind. I dont think the red are worth buying over the white. Seems like you would be buying pads every month lol ---

I have my plastic Freehand 1 set up semi-responsive. I found that the spin dies too quickly with the white pads. ---

I picked up a Ti-Freehand about a month ago, and it has really left an impression on me. It doesn’t play like an OG Freehand and it doesn’t play like the new Al ones. I have it set up totally unresponsive and it is one of the nicest organic yoyos ive ever thrown. It is extremely well balanced, light, and just a joy to throw. Blows the Gravity out of the water when it comes to fun factor imo. I imagine that most of the people who bought these were collectors who don’t play collector yoyos, but this yoyo has had a lot of thought put into modern organic play and it shows. ---

I only have two, a Grasshopper GTX and an Exit 8. Both are great, but the Grasshopper is probably the best player out of the 18 yoyos that I own. ---

The current bi-metal Exit 8 is nice as well. Probably a tie for me between that and the Tourney. ---

So i like to share with duncan my love for the gtr they want to know what we like about it and if i can write to them i will go thru u. its powerful very stable very fun not too heavy it looks heavy but it’s perfect. as i mention here in forums its a bit similar but more power then the grasshopper gtx i own and i own few bimetal from Duncan the response pads red are excellent as well. i can see more guys use it for competition too ---

Killer collection, the green Mg is easily the coolest of the bunch in my opinion. The Taka Freehand Pro is also super cool.
