One of my first yoyos was a Playmaxx ProYo 2. Stupidly enough, it ended up as fodder when making my first attempts at modding plastic yoyo guts. 🙄 I’ve been on the hunt for a ProYo 2 for a couple of months now, and finally one popped up on the bay (in Germany you don’t find these that easily sadly). When I was modding FHZs back in 2009, I had some custom ILYY spacers made that I used in these mods, giving the yoyos new guts with a 4mm gap, type L bearing and sILYYcone response. I’ve always been intrigued my the fact that the wooden fixed axle piece had about the same thickness as my spacers. I just had to fit these in a ProYo 2 (sorry, Ed 😛). The ProYo 2 weighs in at around 51g, which works fine for 1A unresponsive play, but I desired a little more oomph. Thus, I added thin brass weight rings I bent from pin stock. These tension fit inside behind the caps. The yoyo is now 56.5g which is a nice compromise between the old school feeling and decent playability. ![IMG_5261](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/0/f/3/0f349b4df0a5cead800474c9554c5492d041a489.jpeg) ![IMG_5258](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/9/c/e/9ceb355b27dd052558a375f6a2f535d946509df3.jpeg) ![IMG_5259](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/0/1/2/012705faae860dd080e217487edd8860d3eba4a3.jpeg) ![IMG_5260](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/1/e/f/1efca76d31a80d5be3af5126c919426056a4b555.jpeg) ![IMG_5262](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/1/c/d/1cda8b558be85c4855a0370e6d135eeda03fa424.jpeg) ---

Created an account just to reply your amazing work and because the sudden idea I have on modding the Proyo II (or the GT version). Google on the idea and here I am stumbled on your post. Really interested replicating your work, is there any way I can get the guide for this? This is my 1st time trying to mod a yoyo. ---

Thanks! Do you have a spacer kit available? Based on the respective kit, you need to cut away the inner material of the yoyo halves. ---

Sorry if this doesn’t belong here as it doesn’t involve the Proyo II. But you can take the more modern Duncan ProYos (the ones [YoYoExpert](https://shop.yoyoexpert.com/products/duncan-proyo-yoyo?variant=25705227208) sells) and throw some Mod Spacers that come with the Duncan Pro Z into them and they actually make for a more than capable throw! YoYoExpert doesn’t carry the Pro Z, but Duncan’s official store has them. They use to be sold in Walmart as well just a couple of years back. ![IMG_0316](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/c/d/f/cdf4ea267dd875fa4ee1448dc250f371380234c2.jpeg) ![IMG_0317](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/4/f/1/4f15365ddac35e6dfe86eb995d51f1d8480e1029.jpeg) ![IMG_0318](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/f/e/8/fe8bd63fb7133778d9724cb12552dfeb67a6360b.jpeg) ---

Also, the work you did on your ProYo II is stunning! ---

That’s a cool idea. Unfortunately, as far as I can tell, Duncan is not accepting orders for anything (on their website) right now.
