The title says I all. What’s the difference between the Hyper imperial and the standard model? I used to have Duncan Hyper Imperial when I was a kid. I can’t find out anything about them on Google. Any old guys know anything about them. ---

I remember buying one just because it said “Hyper” on it. There was also the Hyper Midnight (which I also owned). It was licensed for the Hyper yoyo company (1997). There was no actual difference in the yoyo’s build, it was identical to a regular Imperial or Midnight Special. ---

I see. I also still have a Midnight Special from when I was a kid . I don’t play it much but it’s fun to have in my collection. Thanks for the reply.
