Here is another A bearing yoyo that is a throwback design but provides a lot of modern joy and is still available. The YoYo Factory Confusion. I was very excited when these initially dropped last year and I had to have a black one. I play it with Zipline Darkroom strings because they are black. I like to play it black on black because it’s a badass EDC that way with attitude. Keep it lubed and greased for responsive play, but using the white thin pads for response for longer spins and extra string wraps. ![20190220_054112](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/3/2/2/32287d5f5156a8b6b3fdc6238567e5efb24c3e09.jpeg) ![20190220_054023](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/5/b/3/5b3ed8b38a5e17b4f4ef80c8c73a4dae0782df59.jpeg) ![20190220_053852](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/4/2/6/42636af2b80b124a5fa9eead99722dfb0e3de63c.jpeg) ![20190220_053224](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/7/d/7/7d7a2438628cd1b2afb76a2fae45225cd5ef6edf.jpeg) ---

I don’t think I could have made a better metal Freehand. I’m still throwing this yoyo haha. This shape actually was a mistake. The original shape was almost identical to the FHZ, a little more bowed out and rounder. Something happened to the CAD and the machinist had to redraw a bit of the shape. The redrawn one was a bit more I wanna say V shaped, and I didn’t actually notice at first. This change in shape lowered the weight a tiny bit, and made for a much more lighter and less bulky and sluggish feeling on the string when compared to the initial run. So this wasn’t an exact copy of the shape as I wanted, but the yoyo ended up being much better as a result! ---

"# Specs: - Bearings: Size A (5x10x4 mm) - Size: 56mm by 35.56mm - Gap size: 3mm - Response: Core Co silicon response pads These stats are all subject to change in the final release." If you want in early, @DocPop has a Kickstarter up. Go to KS and search “Weekender”. I ordered the solid, and am hoping this happens since he reached this stretch goal: " \* $5600- I’ll research a good way to nickel plate a small run of Weekenders and if possible, nickel plated option will be offered (for an additional $7, which will be collected after the campaign has ended for KS backers). Please note that since I’ll be needing to find a new nickel plating service, this option might not be possible unless I can find a consistent place at a fair price." Hey Doc, I bet OD can help you find a place! 😁 ---

Sidenote: we made A and C versions of the Executive prototype and I loved them both. We went with C because we figured it was more standardized, thus players could customize it easier, but I sometimes wish we stuck with the A. … What the heck did I do with that A bearing prototype anyways? ---

When it comes to A bearing YoYos Duncan has the most options. They also offer options to flip between either A or C bearings as well (Flipside). This was a fun mod using cheap Duncans from the big box stores toy aisle. I’m calling it my Super Wide Butterfly XT-A bearing. Using the mod spacers from a Pro Z pack with the spacers flipped to the A size. This is a wide 48mm and is weighing in at 68 grams with weight rings. If you cant afford a Moster Edge this is option for you. I also like running the Pro Z with the A bearing as this set up use to be marketed at the “Players Edition”. Its always fun to mix and match, a reason to collect them all. ![20190327_142742](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/6/0/1/601f46bfc0e5ae773143df360294577051f8eb2e.jpeg) ![20190327_142820](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/1/d/e/1de03775bfa43f2ec30271789bf2dc1a24f8d7c5.jpeg) ![20190327_142955](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/5/0/2/502f1e63f8e3f9cc13d55a155b00f4c54ce72808.jpeg) ![20190327_143442](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/0/0/e/00eeb73b0b2feed47450881a573e1efc4fa3260c.jpeg) PRO Z Narrow/ SW BF XT A / PRO Z Wide A [Previous page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/a-sized-bearing-yoyo-love-small-bearings/297062.md?page=2) [Next page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/a-sized-bearing-yoyo-love-small-bearings/297062.md?page=4)
