It weighs 52.9g and features a translucent blue body with yellow caps, a ball-bearing axle for long spin times, and a starburst response system for reliable returns. Designed for competitive looping play, this yo-yo comes with one string and is ready to help you practice advanced techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat makes the Hornet Pro different from a beginner yo-yo?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis yo-yo sits a step above entry-level models. Its ball-bearing axle lets the yo-yo spin freely and stay on the string longer, which matters for looping tricks where spin retention is critical. The modified-style plastic body profile gives a balanced weight distribution for controlled responses. Experienced players will also notice the adjustable string gap: metal washers under the aluminum spacers can be removed or added to widen or narrow the gap, allowing you to tune the yo-yo to your style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey specifications at a glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e52.9 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody material\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHigh-grade plastic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAxle type\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBall bearing (metal balls inside sleeve)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eResponse system\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStarburst (asterisk pattern around axle)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody shape\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModified\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTranslucent blue body, yellow caps\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 yo-yo with string\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSkill level\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIntermediate to competitive\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAdjustable gap for tuning\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnderneath the aluminum spacers are small metal washers. Removing them narrows the gap between the halves, making the yo-yo more responsive—good for fast loops. Adding washers widens the gap, which can help with string tricks. This is a feature usually found on pricier yo-yos, giving the Hornet Pro flexibility without a high price tag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCan a beginner use the Duncan Hornet Pro?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile it is marketed as an intermediate model, a dedicated beginner who is serious about learning looping could start with this yo-yo. However, because the starburst response grabs the string aggressively, it may react more quickly than a beginner expects. Most players will find it easiest after they have mastered basic throws and returns on a simpler yo-yo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the yo-yo come with extra string?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe package includes one yo-yo with a string attached. Additional string is not included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the cap removable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe yellow caps are the halves of the yo-yo body. They can be unscrewed to access the axle and spacers, but the caps themselves are not designed to be swapped out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does “looping” mean for a yo-yo?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLooping refers to tricks where the yo-yo returns to the hand without stopping—often in repeated loops. A looping yo-yo like the Hornet Pro is weighted and shaped to make these fast returns easier and more consistent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan you adjust the response?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, by changing the number of metal washers under the spacers you can modify the string gap, which affects how tightly the yo-yo responds. The starburst response itself is not replaceable—it is molded into the plastic.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Duncan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58077679943983,"sku":null,"price":28.05,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0986\/4478\/7503\/files\/duncan-hornet-pro-looping-yo-yo-blue-with-yellow-caps-ball-bearing-axle-intermediate-level-1.jpg?v=1781599567","url":"https:\/\/toysforkid.co.uk\/products\/duncan-hornet-pro-looping-yo-yo-blue-with-yellow-caps-ball-bearing-axle-intermediate-level","provider":"Toys For Kid","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
