The clear Duncan Die are the best. They’re definitely my favorite kind of die hands down.

Depends on mood. Lately Ive been using a Yellow Bouncy ball. My favorite LOOKING counterweight is the dice biting the string. I also like the YYF spin top button. I have a TerrapinX bearing that is really heavy but good for slower or controlled play, just not for super fast beestings

I like my bright pink Takeshi die but I also have a black FH2 with plain white caps and an all black counter weight die with white pips. I call it my “professional” set up!

I use a figure I got in a pokemon ball a few years back. The pokemon is “fake” (number is higher than 150), so I don’t have any knowledge of its actual name.

Pics??? I’m interested to see if it’s actually a real Pokemon. I tried using a Psyduck keychain as a cw and it actually works!

I thought the ball ‘o’ wood wasn’t a counterweight…

Wrong ball ‘o’ wood, bro, this isn’t the one that comes on the yoyo holder.
