The first full metal release from 44RPM is 2011-2013 3A World Champion, Hank Freeman's signature yo-yo.
The young maker 44RPM already boasts an interesting and unique lineup, including flat pack yo-yos that assemble like a puzzle. Finally that lineup features their first full metal throw, which happens to also be the signature model of founder and longtime 3A world champion, Hank Freeman.
The body is a little wide with a basic step round H-profile. Although it looks sharp and angular, it actually is incredibly responsive to your control, clearly built to diligently suit Hank Freeman's specifications. The body itself was designed by Rafael Matsunaga, and the side face logo was done by Rodrigo Yokota, both were Duncan Crew members alongside Hank.
