It plays excellent with the recessed pads on both halves for this later model. The paint job is premium and the nicest green I’ve seen. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/5/a/8/5a85f66b2a7179c5dfe77126a89dbfbb2b6c1e6b.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/9/1/2/912f7a2d5ba8250dc58cbd016dc46186ebbfb01b.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/c/9/e/c9ed50264ff7a608bb61d77048659881b4adc94c.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/8/f/2/8f2cd8c89d1f2e9fcd8e1948b83e4453bcb1c087.jpeg) ---

I appreciate it. It’s mostly @jonathanstggg the came up with the design. For signature, my only role is to make sure it looks good. 😃 I think the way the yo-yo performs resembles the way he execute his yo-yo play style. ---

Last week I realized it’s not illegal to wrap a FH1 around your finger and play it like an oversized butterfly and I have been having a blast. I got the small bearing also except in orange with black caps. I have the original AL (pink/black) and a C bearing AL FH1 (solid purple) coming today. ---

Freehand One Ti. I guess some people just expect that you have to throw a certain style with the Freehands, but this is one of the best modern organic throws ive ever played with. It has the perfect amount of float, the weight is right in the sweet spot in a way that the plastic and Al version can’t match, and overall just plays like THE organic yoyo. A perfect modern revision of a classic, imo. ---

Actually, that is not quite true. Most interesting that even in that Duncan story, it conveniently leaves out the part where Pedro Flores was making thousands of yo-yos before the ‘enterprising Mr. Duncan’ had a little pow-wow and talked Pedro into ‘making some waves on a larger scale.
