Does anybody know anything about it?
Hornet is Duncan’s new 2A/Looping model expected to begin shipping to retailers later this month.
Hornet features a starburst response, Fh Zero style side caps, 4x8x3mm sized ball-bearing (the standard in modern looping yo-yos) and includes both plastic and aluminum spacers.

Looks good!!
Is it the same material as the pro z??
Both Hornet and Pro Z are polycarbonate.
Thanks for telling me
Looks sweet!
Are the plastic spacers for customizing your setup? Could you adjust the gap size and also get the lip of the spacer where you want it (e.g. even with the starburst)? Thanks!
Indeed, they look sweet.
What will be the weight on these guys?
Looks like a Pro-z mod spacer less.
Really glad to see starburst response.
The plastic spacers are for more experienced players who prefer longer spin times, and less response for wrap style tricks.
54 grams
Hornet is VERY different from Pro Z. Pro Z features a flared gap/shape and 5x4x10 bearing, whereas Hornet features a modified shape more preferred for looping, 4x8x3 bearing, and a higher burst count for more aggressive response.

That picture changes everything :).
Will there be any clear ones for us modders who like to paint??
I just want Duncan to know that if they sold more Clear yoyos they would make more money.
