Diamont Noir Becomes Licensee of Duncan’s Counterweight Patent
Direct from Duncan
"Singapore based yo-yo manufacturer Diamont Noir is now the second yo-yo company to license Duncan's patent for yo-yo counterweights and yo-yos that include a counterweight (Patent #6371824). Diamont Noir's president Iskandar Shah is a well known counterweight yo-yo player who took first place at the 2005 Asia Pacific Yo-Yo Championship, 2007-2011 Singapore National Yo-Yo Championships, and the 2011 Bali International Yo-Yo Open Championship using two counterweights attached to the yo-yo. This style is known as "Double Dice" or "Double D" style of counterweight yo-yo play.
Diamont Noir's first models to include counterweights are named "Celestial" and "Celestial Deuxieme". Both models will include a special counterweight system that allows the player to customize their counterweight preference.
We are excited to work with Diamont Noir and look forward to seeing them push the Freehand/5A/Counterweight style of yo-yo play to new levels!"

Adegle Comet (Iskandar Shah Signature yoyo)
Adegle Comet, Adegle's newest product and Iskandar Shah's signature yoyo.
when i first tried Iskandar's prototype, i didn't fancy it that much, i felt the edges were sharp, but when i got this sample, it felt different, is it just me, or i just grown to get used to it?
The Adegle Comet comes in a YoYoJoker-ish packaging. i kinda like it.
engravings design and pattern is pretty fresh to me, but this runs of engravings feels rougher than the previous few Adegles when touched. however, it doesn't affect the play, it still grinds. The Comet has a slight H-profile, rim weighted, and smooth, uses o-ring size response, not pads. unique stepped hub design.
like i mentioned, i didn't fancy it at first, but grown to like it, Lin-Kai may have tune the shape a little, or it could be due to the machining process that makes the difference.
reps tried, horizontal seems very well done with the Comet, stable, solid.
mine uses a flat bearing, but it handles backspin very well, its that smooth, it spins real long, it grinds like mentioned although the engraving feels rough.
lacerations, front/side style and stuff are no problem, i like to add that i personally feel the axle system is pretty precised, took apart, screw it back, smoothness. as you guys may know some pretty high-end yoyos are real good, but when took apart and screwed back, you can't actually do it smoothly due to the bearing seat or axle seat not in alignment, or the tolerance not very precised. but this one is good. its very firm. Iskandar abuse his prototypes pretty bad practicing his 5A, and its still smooth when i tried it awhile ago for 1A. no vibes, no wobs.
some may need awhile to get use to holding it though. and return on a hard throw/power spin may hurt a little, technique guys.
many should have tried this yoyo already, but if you haven't look out for me to try it.
videos soon hopefully!
also, as of now, there's still one blue and one silver Adegle Comet available at IshiYoYoStore now at 148SGD if you would like to grab it.
