The Duncan Torque Yoyo is a versatile budget metal yoyo. The Torque Yoyo has a more neutral feeling than most yoyos, which gives it a light touch during play. While this does give the yoyo a bit of extra speed, the most distinctive characteristic of this yoyo is that it does not resist the player during tricks; you control the yoyo, not the other way around. The Torque Yoyo’s light touch during play makes it especially nice for freehand style yoyoing (5a). Freehand tricks require a yoyo that will perfectly match even the most subtle movements of your hands as you strive to manipulate both the counterweight and the yoyo independently. The Torque possesses this quality in abundance. The Torque Yoyo is also particularly suited to 5a because its weight is ideal for offsetting the weight of a standard counterweight. As if all this were not enough, the Torque Yoyo also comes equipped with a concave bearing out of the box for the best play possible. This bearing is optimal for both 1a and 5a styles of play, especially during horizontal and off axis tricks, as it keeps the string away from the inside walls of the yoyo for longer spin times during aggressive yoyo tricks. If you are looking for a yoyo that is truly adept at both 1a and 5a, we feel the Torque Yoyo should be at the top of your list.YoYoTricks.com Torque Yoyo Review
