Yo-Yo Day

Duncan offers entry level to competitive metal yo-yos for a large consumer base. However, we felt it was time to have some more entertaining choices. Our goal was something as the name implies: BIG and FUN! - BIG size, big spin, big concave bearing! - FUN time with fingerspin cap design, high durability, and amplified hop combo tricks.

There’s just something about the feeling of catching a forward pass... That’s what we are reminded of when we think of the Bumblebee. To us, the original Bumblebee is synonymous with the rebellious playground yo-yo play emblematic of the late 90’s and early 2000’s. The Bumblebee was something you could pull out of your bit-too-baggy jeans and jam on while waiting for your friends outside the gas station. It was dependable, fashionable, and you felt slightly underdressed when leaving home...

The idea of transforming the Butterfly into aluminum is a pretty bold concept. The original Butterfly design is really something you don't want to mess around with. After a lot of thought, we finally decided to design something aimed towards modern responsive yo-yoing; maintaining the feel of the original Butterfly but gearing the yo-yo towards a trick set that wasn't invented at the time of the original Butterfly's release. Our goal became to keep that timeless Duncan feeling, to make the...

The mid-school technical style of the early-to-mid 2000’s stands as the undisputed foundation of modern yo-yo play. That golden age of yo-yo innovation is best described as an era of immense sophistication and avant-garde exploration of yo-yo as an artistic medium: for the first time, the limitlessness of yo-yo was being discovered. The original Cold Fusion was around for the entirety of this golden age of yo-yo and was revered for its premium aluminum build and long spin times and stability,...

The new eXit 8 is here! Designed by Takeshi Kamisato, a Duncan legend and world-renowned skill toy master! Our focus here was to update the Exit 8 design to fit the current meta of yo-yoing. The final result is a masterpiece! It’s just undersized enough that gives you all the comfort of an undersized yo-yo, but features a bi-metal placement that gives you a unique feeling, strong spin-time and an astonishing look! From Takeshi: I selfishly designed the eXit 8 with what I want in a yo-yo. The...

Freehand is the original counterweight yo-yo! With the introduction of Freehand came a new way to perform tricks by attaching a counterweight to the end of the string. The string is no longer attached to your finger, allowing you to perform tricks never done before. Freehand features SG stickers with thinner ball-bearing for perfect response. Matching casino die counterweight included! Check out our counterweight videos for an arsenal of tricks.

A year in the making and too many revisions to count; we funneled it all down to one beautiful, powerful, and iconic design. Our newest yo-yo, the Freehand AL! We updated the Freehand design many times over the years. So what is different this time? We added an aluminum cap, improved the shape and weight distribution. The result? It's a massive upgrade! We initially thought that aesthetics is the critical factor here, but it turns out that the spin-time is equally essential. We flattened the...

The Freehand is one of our most iconic yo-yos. We have made several versions over the years, but the unresponsive Freehand NextGen is extraordinary, and special to us. The shape is semi-organic with added flare for the next generation of yo-yoing. Including 19mm silicone response pad and a licensed KonKave Bearing means that you cannot go wrong with this yo-yo! It is a must-have plastic yo-yo for any collection, Includes a standard counterweight to start your Freehand journey in traditional...
