What yoyo is this? Looking to learn responsive play

Where to find videos of Markmont playing stock FHZs? :slight_smile:

Haha thanks, what a moment to capture on camera Twitch.

I was thinking to myself that I need a padded glove to play responsive, especially at the start I was bruising my hand too often, until the friction stickers wore out. And I thought it would be funny to wear a helmet for the video

Some more responsive Freehand videos. Man I love these older videos.

Jason Lee - Superman Sorry, this one wouldn’t embed for some reason.

Thank you @_Z1 for keeping this one on your youtube channel :pray:

Sector Y’s videos aren’t working for me right now, I’d upload more if I could.

Keep them coming, I am really enjoying watching these videos and seeing people pushing the edge of what is capable on something like a free hand.
I can’t even do this on the unresponsive Dove!

This is my all time favorite yo-yo video that uses the Freehand 1 (FH1). It floods me with nostalgia from back in the early 2000’s when I use to yo.

I had a FH Zero back in the day and just used one Duncan silicone sticker and lube before I nodded it. I could get through all the beginner/intermediate tricks at the time. You just gotta power throw and play clean. I could get at good 30 to 40 second spins while doing tricks.
