Duncan Freehand Y-Prototype - glasseye
This is the second of three prototypes which was donated by Duncan Toys to help get Jason Lee to the 2001 World Yo-Yo Contest. This will now be known as the Y-Prototype. I've confirmed with Steve Brown that less than 30 of these were made and less than 20 left the factory. The yo-yo halves are made from a deep transulcent blue polycarb and the sidecaps are made from yellow polycarb. In normal light, the yo-yo is actually much darker and looks almost as if it is black.

The Y-Prototype uses a raised disc with both positive and negative starbursts for it's return system, much like the return system of a Renegade. (Click on the picture to the left for a close-up). Note: The Y-Prototype yo-yo is actually much darker than it appears in the photo. I used an extremely bright light to allow the starburst pattern to be more visible.
