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.

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. ---

The plastic spacers are for more experienced players who prefer longer spin times, and less response for wrap style tricks. > [@M.DeV1](#): > > What will be the weight on these guys? 54 grams > [@Bcmaddog](#): > > Looks like a Pro-z mod spacer less. 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.

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.
